The 1959 Winnipeg Train Fire, Postal History archive. A scorched and singed group of 4 covers that were aboard the Train at the time of accident, plus an additional “Ambulance Cover” addressed to the National Health and Welfare Board in Ottawa which would have carried the burnt mail after recovery with a Post Office apology / explanation letter. In late December 1959, a fire on board the eastbound train from Winnipeg just outside the city, damaging the mail that was being transported. The train was instructed to continue onto Minaki ONT, where the fire was extinguished. A scarce grouping. Estimate -
