Transportation
The first rail line, the Air Line, connected Warren to Stonewall and Winnipeg, and later to Portage la Prairie, but was taken out of service in 1882. The Hudson Bay CPR line was built to Shoal Lake, but construction stopped after 1886 due to lack of funds. In the 1880s, multiple rail lines were built through the municipality to transport gravel from the ridges and pits, but were later abandoned once supply diminished. The Canadian Northern Railroad was built through the area from 1903 to 1904.[2] The section north of Warren was abandoned beginning in 1996, but the section south remains in operation.[6]
