These blocks of ice were used to fill the ice houses of the Wheat City Ice Co. (located north of Rosser Avenue on the west side of 15th Street, and south of Princess Avenue on the east side of 17th Street), the CPR icehouses (at the station and 3rd St. & Assiniboine Ave), and the CNR icehouse (at Forth Street and McTavish Avenue). In addition, large quantities of ice were shipped to smaller towns in railcars (usually old refrigerator cars).
