Scope and content
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.
