Polar Bear Express

Took Polar Bear Express for full day ride to and from Cochran Ontario to Moosonee. This is a 5 hr trip each way. Train was very comfortable with adjustable feet, legs and back. Full breakfast, lunch and dinner in cafeteria line fashion. Eating area in same car. Special was penne pasta with sausage and was very good with generous portion. Saw lots of skinny trees (tree line product) and lakes, but no wildlife this trip. You can take a water taxi to Moose Factory to learn the history of the area and partnership with the Hudson Bay Company. I was hoping to buy First Nation crafts, but a stop at Northern College in Moosonee told me otherwise. Since Covid, First Nation crafts have near disappeared. Tourism needs to return to the area with the help of ONR.
