big fred,
I assume you grew up in the Rolette area. I grew up in the Rocklake area and both Great Northern and Soo were in that area as well. There were 2 large grain elevators there, both served by Great Northern. The farthest north point on that line was Hansboro. If you ever looked at old maps of counties and townships you see grain elevators (essentially little towns) about every 6 miles or so. That was probably the distance that most horse drawn grain wagons wanted to travel. Of course that would be in my grandparents time.
Dad had trucks and the farthest he hauled grain was about 3 miles to Crocus. But some area farmers hauled 10 or so miles.
