Doug Wachs writes: " I worked at the station a lot during the summer. At that time the trains burnt coal, and they would come in on the track and dump the ashes between the tracks. The track crew that repaired the track would take the ashes from in between and shovel them off to the side. Then in the spring, the CPR would hire me with a team of horses and a tumble bucket, and we would scrape these cinders. If you dig down a bit anywhere around here from about the crossing to the elevator, you will find these cinders."

With the coming of the railroad, the building of elevators followed. In the early days horse drawn sleigh boxes and wagons hauled to the elevators and the flourmills. From the elevator, the grain was loaded in boxcars and was transported by rail to the grain terminals in the East and in the West to be sold to prospective buyers. Now the local elevators are disappearing due the building of Inland Terminals. Times change and with these changes trucks haul the grain to these Inland Terminals and then the grain goes by rail.

The exact date of the last passenger train is not known. It was in the early 1960's.There was a special passenger train that came through Lanigan on July 1, 1981 to celebrate CPR's 100 years of passenger service in Canada. The Railroad of today hauls Potash, container cars, grain, machinery, lumber, oil products and other freight.

With the coming of the rail line the Maintenance was done by workers riding jiggers. Story has it that the local doctor had the workers transport him to the next town with a jiggers. Now a closed in truck transports the workers from job to job. (Much warmer in the winter and much more comfortable in the summer heat.)

The station of today has been preserved as a Heritage Centre and is situated on the Yellow Head Highway.
