Weekend Update: I Love Manitoba (3)

This weekend it was Teulon / Inwood area, the reason why is below. En route, however... All Saints Victoria Anglican Church near Stonewall, a provincial heritage site:

It was then through Teulon. I stopped briefly at the museum, which was closed, but got shots of the outdoor displays.

Then, finally to the reason behind the trip: the hamlet of Polson, Manitoba to check out Winnipeg Streetcar 680 that has been sitting in a pasture perhaps since 1955 when the streetcar system was disbanded. (For more about that event, check out my previous post on Streetcar 356.)

The streetcar was found but there was a problem, or rather dozens of them. It was in a pasture full of cattle!

I've been around cattle before and found that they usually range from being apathetic to skittish when people are around but this herd was loud and extremely curious so, sadly, close-ups of the streetcar were not in the cards. (You can check out buflyer's close-ups as he went there once when the cows were in another pasture).
