My day started two hours earlier in Regina, now I was here in Viceroy watching the sun come up and listening for sounds of a train approaching from the west. Great Western is supposed to have a ballast train called at Shaunavon for 0500 to run east of here to Horizon for loading.

Viceroy appeared to only have a handful of occupied houses but at one time supported at least two baseball diamonds.
