Saskatoon City Transit - Studebaker bus

Saskatoon's first hospital

Saskatoon Fire Hall which became the City Police Station in 1910 until 1912. Later the building became a gas station.

This was Saskatoon's first powered fire engine. The town made an arrangement with George Potter Cartage to have one of his teams harnessed and available at all times until the town provided horses of their own. Later replaced by a steam pumper and the gas engine.

Dunning Bus lines operated by Jack Dunning who owned a sales and livery barn on 1st Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets from about 1910 to 1925. The buses were primarily used to convey passengers from Saskatoon south to Earl - later called South Saskatoon. Earl was located on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway whose mainline traversed west over the river about 2 miles south of the small city of the time. These buses sat on the property now occupied by the Federal Building and their weathered hulks could be seen in the late 1920's. About 1915, a motorbus line has replaced them.
