Great Ox Trains Of Old Prairies Remembered At Portage
Portage la Prairie resident recalls old ox trains on the Saskatchewan trail to Edmonton from Winnipes and St Paul.

The route carried merchandise west and furs back, with steamboats arriving as early as 1874 and CP Rail arriving in 1882 altering travel.
