The Elmwood Cemetery has a web page at http://www.elmwoodfriends.ca/ that you might contact and they are not that far from Transcona. The newspaper would be the Winnipeg Free Press. They have a web site but the only help there is a list of where you can find the old newspapers on microfilm. The Transcona Museum also has a web site and they say they have old newspapers. Transcona did have its own newspaper but I'm not sure of the years. The museum also has a great deal of railway artifacts and you might email them for information. Good luck.
