Ghost Town of Baring

0 Comments

 
Type: Railway Siding
Established:1908                     
Last known status: Abandoned
Location: Saskatchewan
​
Former CP Siding of Baring, Saskatchewan was established in 1908. It is unknown whether there was ever more to this siding than what can be seen today but I do know that there was a post office and it was closed in 1967. The siding today only has the elevator and an old community hall which is empty. Baring is so far out into a field that I have only been to it once but have driven by numerous times, always in the winter.
