Dave Niblock with Oxen

Bearded man is identified as Wolseley, N.W.T. homesteader Dave Niblock with team of oxen. The first Wolseley Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) station (1882-1927) is in the background.

The “Peanut”

A steam locomotive is seen pulling several train cars on a Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) ‘Spur Line’ running between Reston, Manitoba and Wolseley, Saskatchewan from 1908 to 1961. It was affectionately named “Peanut” as its whistle resembled the sound of a peanut vendor’s cart.
