Red Gate on Russian Border [a historical re-creation]

This photo was taken during the creation of the docu-drama motion picture called "...and When they shall ask...". It re-created the scene from 1924-1929 of the train train carrying Mennonite emigrants passing through the star topped gate which marked the border between the USSR and Latvia. This portion of the motion picture was shot on location in Manitoba just east of Winnipeg. This picture shows the train engine, having just pulled past the gate. Steam shrouds the flag on the gate. Patches of snow can be seen on the grass at the side of the railway line. Dave Dueck the producer of the film took this picture.

Dueck, David B., 1940-2019
