Historic Sites of Manitoba: Hoctor Railway Bake Oven (Hoctor, RM of Reynolds)Located along the CNR Minaki Subdivision east of the Hoctor Siding near Rennie are a number of bake ovens built and used by construction workers when they built the CNR mainline track around 1907-1908. Other bake ovens at this location are in various stages of collapse. Bake ovens can be found at other locations along the eastern Manitoba section of the mainline. Similar bake ovens have been found throughout North America near old railway worker camps.
