THE OILY BOID GET THE WOIM
A narrow gauge railroad, nicknamed the "turkey track", used to connect Great Falls, Montana and Lethbridge, Alberta. When the main line of the Great Northern crossed it in 1891, Shelby Junction came into existence. The hills and plains around here were cow country. The Junction became an oasis where parched cow-punchers cauterized their tonsils with forty-rod and grew plumb irresonsible and ebullient. |
