The Railway History of Wainwright by Don McGuire

 Buffalo “King” Goes to New York

In April of 1940, the buffalo “King” which had been on display in the showcase near the station was expressed to New York. The Gold Standard Refinery provided working models of local oil wells for display in this case. It is not clear exactly when the case was removed from the station grounds.
