CA EDM MS-320-4-EA-430-8 · Item · 1901
Part of McCauley Family fonds

This boiler was being taken to Morinville in the summer of 1901 by Samuel McCauley. The purpose of the third set of wheels [on the wagon] is to carry the load when the other hind wheels settled into the muskeg. In spite of this, the boiler had to be left somewhere on the trail (St. Albert Trail?) and the job finished after the freeze-up.

Photo taken on 100th Street (site of former home of Samuel McCauley, later the Land Titles Office).

George West is on the wagon, Dan McCauley driving the team of the next boiler, Samuel McCauley beside the boiler, Bill Desfrese with Dan's Pinto.
