Roche Percee- Ken Friedt Pictures

Roche Percee, Saskatchewan, Canada

Photos donated by Kenneth J. Friedt Jan 2008. These were negatives he bought at a garage sale, Unknown Photographer.
Ken has donated the original negatives to the Saskatchewan Archives, and given me permission to use them here for all to see.
As far as we know, the photographer worked for the CPR, 1909-1911, in the Roche Percee area, Outlook, Moose Jaw and Estevan areas.
He looks like an engineer type maybe? Not many on the train gang would wear a tie. If you have these original snaps in your album, please contact me or Ken.

Some of the photos above, show a train wreck, and I found this clip below, dated July 10, 1910, that describes the wreck of East bound freight #75, about 1/4 mile west of Roche Percee. Accident actually took place July 9, 1910 at 8 am. You can see the lumber in the pictures. Conductor Miller was in charge. 27 of the 35 cars left the track.
