'I’m not sure when the tracks were completed to Angus as the St Paul and Pacific. I do know that my Grandfather and Great Grandfather during 1885 arrived to Minnesota and the tracks stopped about 3 miles out of Angus and they had to walk the rest of the way. My understanding the town of was named after Richard Bladworth Angus, a banker of Montreal, who financially aided the construction of this line of the Great Northern Railway. The village had a post office established in 1879, with Duncan McLennan, first postmaster; it had a station of the Great Northern Railway and four grain elevators nearby.

'I remember that the train came through Warren. I could hear the Winnipeg Limited at night went I was in bed as it would echo in the cold winter air for what seemed hours as it came into Warren and then would wind up as it left the station and went north just across the river from my house. When I was a very young child my parents said it was the sand man coming to put me to sleep.'
