Description

Originally owned by the City of Winnipeg as a garbage wagon. These wagons were hooked 4 or 5 together and they had rear steering so that when a corner was turned all the wagons turned on same track. This was originally pulled by horses and later by tractor. This trailer was purchased by Bristol Aerospace in the early 1950's; used for hauling sawdust out of the aircraft Plant until the late 70's.
