Horseshoe |
| Description: |
What's so big about a horsehoe, you ask? Well, considering it came from 4 feet below the roadbed, would probably mean that it came from one of the horses used in building the rail line back in the 1880's. Neat huh? |

Hunter's cross |
| Description: |
This cross was erected to honour many of the people who hunted here for caribou over the years. To me it has special significance, my grandfather(James Hiscock) and great-uncle(Art Hiscock) have their names in the cross shown in rectangles. |
