I turned often to Historic Sites of Manitoba and the MHS Facebook page. In putting this document together I benefitted from a re-read of all three of Gordon Goldsborough's Abandoned Manitoba series. It provided more than facts, it provided inspiration. I received help from Leona Devyust, Jake Geunther, Landon and Judy Booker, Charlie Baldock, Ron Catt, Wayne Arseny. Special thanks to all the volunteers that produced the excellent Local History Volumes. These are the definitve records of communities and will be even more valuable as the decades pass and memories and physical evidence fades. Without them much would have been lost. In my resource collection at: www.virtualmanitoba.com you will find, among other things, a section devoted to "Crossings" where I will ad updates, more photos and extensions on the topic. Thanks to the Province of Manitoba for funding that supports Local History and the Historic Resources Branch for the support it provides to Heritage initiatives.
