Trail is a ghost town. You can't find it located on any website, and only on a few maps. It lies on Highway 34, between the towns of Camargo and Leedey.
While searching for the Trail Cemetery at the intersection of County Roads EW73 and NS208, we came upon this circular red rusty marker, just within the fence of the cemetery at the intersection.
It gives the history of the various schools which once taught the children of Trail, and may give a hint to the town's demise. It reads:
