I don't know if you knew this before, but we almost had a subway in this city. If someone has a link to more of this info, I'm sure they'd be happy to provide you.
You're free to peruse the Winnipeg Tribune & Free Press archives and search for the BIG story 60 years ago about the Wilson subway (1959) and the WATS subway (1968-69) plans.

The first you can freely search and view, the second you need a WPL card #to login.
