Geocache Description:

Location --south end of Main Street in Watrous, Saskatchewan


The location of this cache is at a monument that reflects the important history that the railways have played in the development of many communities in Western Canada, and certainly that of Watrous, Saskatchewan.  At one time Watrous had a roundhouse that serviced train engines. The contractor, Carter-Halls-Aldinger, was a Winnipeg firm responsible for many buildings, both utilitarian and aesthetic, throughout the Canadian West , constructing roundhouses  in western Canada.  Jiggers, both hand operated, and powered units, were important during the early days in regards to railroad maintenance.  You may want to get in the mood by watching and listening to the Ballad of John Henry 

This is a high muggle area.  You can park right at the cache site.
