Laying Steel: Battleford To Cutknife
Part of Biggar Photograph Collection
Laying railroad track on a bridge during the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific line from Battleford, Saskatchewan, west to Cutknife, Saskatchewan; in the postcard/photograph there are trucks with trailers loaded with rail ties followed by a large group of men on a railway bridge
These postcards are printed photographs (not real photo) images of the University of Saskatchewan campus, and Saskatoon, taken during the 1940s. The postcards have not been used: each is identified with a “negative number” on the back, although the photographer is not known. It is assumed these were a reference set, from which orders for more postcards could be made. They are in pristine condition and provide exceptionally clear images of early University buildings, such as the original Veterinary Medicine building and the student-built “New Medical College,” as well as rare images of Saskatoon, including the Bessborough Hotel gardens and views of bridges from the road.
