 According to company records, the Canadian National Railway wrote off a 22.39 mile abandonment during 1948-1952 for the flood-damaged track between Goodwater and Blewett.With the closure of the Goodwater to Blewett section, trains ran only from Radville and Goodwater, then turned back to Radville.Into the 1950s, passenger service declined further and by 1959 regular train service ceased, with train service occurring only for grain cars as needed.
