First wheat train to Churchill

Exporail
The first shipment of grain arrives from Saskatoon in a CNR train pulled by Consolidation #2163, a locomotive built at Kingston in 1913.
 The railway to Hudson Bay had taken decades to build, beginning in 1883, proceeding in fits and starts till finally taken over by the government and finished in 1929.
