Remarks & Notes |
CP 5916 and CEFX 3130 bring a potash train into the yard as CP 112 is slowly departing in the town known as Little Chicago for its strong ties to Italian-American gangster Al Capone, along came prohibition. Canada quit it long before the U.S. and Moose Jaw became a hub for rumrunners and gangsters. They had an extensive connection of tunnels through out downtown Moose Jaw which have become a very popular tourist attraction in western Canada. Rumour has it they had a tunnel that would go into the yard where they would load the trains bound for Chicago near the station. |
