I think it is important that information like this be preserved and shared for genrations to come.This is video footage of the people and places along the railway in Northern Manitoba Canada

I worked this line from The Pas to Churchill from 1966 to 1981 on the train crews. I knew most of the people in this film and they were great down to earth people.

I'm from nova scotia, was just searching for footage of lake winnipegosis and came across this. This is a real gem I'm glad I stumbled across it, thanks for uploading this little piece of history.

I went to split lake with a Spence man, he’d be 70 now. Lived in Thompson, Nelson House with the Donkeys and Spence, Linklaters. Onto Gods Lake with the Bees the chief he’d be gone now unless he’s 100. Worked on rail gang, Dept of Highway, Stinco, drive Taxi to Res. Beautiful wonderful world that keeps calling me back, but it better be soon.

Gabriel Ducharme was better known as Shungus. He was the local Medicine Man and he had a lot of respect from the people of Cormorant.
