The townspeople were new to the area, physically isolated from the City of Winnipeg, and connected by the founding industry of the town of Transcona, the railway. They formed close bonds to each other. From the first decade of the 20th century through to the end of the 1940s, working for the railway was a way of life for most people living in Transcona.
