Many cannisters of milk on a rail cart, seven men, and a sign “Nothing can stop the FVMPA shippers” at the Agassiz CPR Station, 1948. Gordon Morrow Jr. is on the load. Bert Tuyttens, E. Olson, W. Sumpter, J. Gellally, and W. Pixley are standing by the cart. Even when the flood washed out parts of the railway, Agassiz’s farmers made sure that their milk still made it to the train.
