There are 4 different railroad lines that go through this map, though this
doesn't show railroads.
The Canadian Pacific line goes through Churchbridge, Langenburg, Marchwell
all on this map. To the west Bredenbury, Saltcoats, Yorkton, then way up
north
to Nipawin.
Laying the steel Canadian Pacific cantilever bridge, Nipawin:

I couldn't find Yorkton, Sask., on the eastern border with Manitoba. On the

Back to Bangor, Saskatchewan and vicinity. Returning to the map-
Next south (these lines all go slightly WNW) is the Canadian Northern line
through Bangor. It also goes through Waldron going west and then Melville,
Birmingham, Fenwood, eventually Saskatoon; at Melville a Camadian National
line heads SW to
Regina. Going east from Bangor, the CN line stations are at Atwater,
Marchwell, Gerald, Binscarth.

Saskatoon today has a bus operating on Canola diesel fuel.
Continuing using the map-
A third line goes through Esterhazy, , to the west this CP line- Stockholm,
Dubuc, Grayson on this map, Neudorf, Lemborg, Abernathy, Belcarres, north
to Humboldt and Prince Albert. East of Esterhazy- Tantallon. Rocanville,
Welwyn, McCauley, all but the last on this map link. From Belcarres the CN
line from Melville SW to Regina. Duff is a stop between Melville and
Belcarres. A stop before Regina is Fort Qu' Appelle.
The fourth rail line on this map, another Canadian Pacific line. Through
Whitewood west Broadview, Grenfell, Sintaluta, Indian Head, Qu' Appelle,
Balgonu, Regina. East of Whitewood- Wapella, Moosomin....

Qu'Appelle CP station, May 1885:

Qu'Appelle CP depot, c. 1900s:
http://library.usask.ca/spcoll/postcardsquappelle/qulxx0886a.html
Qu' Appelle station is in South Qu' Appelle. The old Qu'Appelle became Fort
Qu' Appelle. This must be reason for the two differents stations, I think
the 1885 one is now Ft. Qu'Appelle. qu' Appelle (the current one was
originally called Troy.)

On 11th Street, Regina: http://www.postcardman.net/82083.jpg
Regina was laid out as a railroad town. Earlier Canadian cities had grid
patterns with streets parallel to the river; American towns have main
streets heading to a courthouse. Canadian towns and cities which began with
the railroads have grids with the streets parallel to the railroad tracks,
the main street ending at the railroad station..
Rosthern is on the CN line from Saskatoon to Prince Albert. Rosthern
Canadian National Station. The Station Art Centre now, this is an "award
winning" resttoration.
