Dalmeny, SK

At one time Dalmeny, SK was an important railway town located at the JCT of Canadian Northerns mainline (foreground) and a northward branchline. You can clearly see it just northwest of Saskatoon in this 1917 map: http://www.vanc.igs.net/~roughley/cnor_map.html

Today however its just a dot on the CN map. The old mainline, now simply the Prairie North Line sees a grand total of 1 daily trains. The branchline (CN Carlton sub), and wye were removed in 1992. As for the elevator you can clearly see it in this photo. Not even a single siding track left.

Not quite Elijah. I was counting the E/B-W/B's as 1, 2 by your count. CN 852/3 ussually terminated @ Humboldt, while CN 303/314 are detours until the mainline is fixed up @ Biggar. Hence 452/3 are the only daily regulars.

The 852/853 trains are supposed to run from Winnepeg to Edmonton, and the 303/314 are better off routed over the North line.

Trains 852/853 are daily trains on Togo and Gladstone Subdivisions on the
north line.
