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.  Baring fun facts: • The Maple Leaf Mills elevator was built in 1909 and sold to the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool in 1928 • The elevator was abandoned in 1965 (railway abandoned in 1961) • Kirkfield Presbyterian Church was built in 1885 and burned in 1952 (cairn and graveyard remain) • Baring is named after a british baking family who purchased CPR Bonds Photographs from 2009 *Click on the image for full view (best image)!* Where is Baring, Saskatchewan located?
