A Tornado hit Estevan area Aug 30, 1931.
 It came from a South-westerly Direction.
It blew down the CPR branch line wooden trestle,
About 4 miles west of Estevan,
on the Neptune branch,
 which went from Estevan,
west to Outram and Torquay.

Yellow Highlighted area on map above
shows the location of the old wooden trestle

This trestle was about 1/2 mile long, and 60 or 70 feet in the air.
