Along the Stewart Southern, Part 1

The Stewart Southern believes in lots of signs!
The Stewart Southern Railway is one of the many shortline railways in Saskatchewan.

Very nice Steve. I just love how I can live vicariously thru your blog posts. Not as good as being there, but a close second best.
Never heard of the Stewart Southern Railway. Guess I better come out from under my rock. lol..
Thanks for posting these.

I'm glad to help you railfan vicariously through my posts, Glen! There are so many shortlines in SK that it's hard to keep track of all of them.

This is shaping up to be a super series, Steve. Having travelled there back in 1985, and having now idea how a shortline and oil would transform the area, I'll have to scan my photos. In the meantime, it's amazing to see your photos of the elevators remaining and the potential that can be wrung from a line formerly operated by Class 1.
Slick!

I'd love to see your photos from 1985, Eric!

I'm very happy to see so many elevators remaining, and apparently still in rail operation too.

Nice work, Steve. Your post covers more ground than mine did (Thanks for linking to mine).

Thanks, David! Glad to link to your post to show a different point of view.

Nice job. I've seen a single Centennial marked grain elevator, in Hodgeson.

Thanks, Chris! Someday I'll get on to documenting Saskatchewan grain elevators... I still have to get the last couple of dozen Manitoba ones!
