Caption: Fourteen miles east of the Rabbit Lake depot photo posted a week ago, and five years later, the hamlet of Mayfair experienced the passage of CN 1046 + 1036 and a long train of grain boxcar loads collected on a Loop Job assignment out of North Battleford, via the Blaine Lake sub. to Amiens Jct., then swinging westward on the Amiens sub. to Medstead, southward on the Robinhood sub. to the Blaine Lake sub. at Speers, then westward via Denholm to home terminal North Battleford.

In following that route on a map some years later, I learned that the tail end of that train was very close to where there had been a diamond crossing of CP’s Whitkow sub. (around GPS 52.98752, -107.60351) on its way east to Ravenhead, a line with minimal photographic evidence east of Redfield.
