Truax, Saskatchewan

[3] Truax is situated almost equidistant between Radville and Moose Jaw on the Canadian National Railway line that was closed by CN in the late 1980s.

Southern Rails Cooperative, a farmer-owned cooperative, took over operation of the line, and it still operates today, with farmers loading their grain directly into rail cars, bypassing the grain companies, and shipping directly to port.

The rail line terminates at the Truax grain elevator, built in 1964 and now given Saskatchewan Heritage status.

St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church is no longer open, but when it was mass was held every Saturday night at 7:00 in the winter, and 7:30 in the summer.

Truax was reverted to hamlet status on December 31, 1970, and came under the jurisdiction of the Rural Municipality of Elmsthorpe No.
