I marvel at how the city looked a hundred years ago or even 50 years. Here is a sampling of old aerial and overview images of Winnipeg going back as early as 1875.

When you say "old aerials" I took that to mean old tv/radio antennas.
I think is crystal clear that aerials are the shots from the sky, like flying over some Winnipeg apartments and film it or taking photographs of it all.
Isn't that picture of the supposed CNR east yards really the CPR yards? There were no bridges over the CN yards. I think all CN's yards were behind Union Station. It seems it could be a view from the Arlington Street Bridge of the yards between there and the now replaced Salter Street Bridge. There were three bridges over the CPR line and yards, the Arlington, Salter, and Disraeli Freeway (the second bridge in the distance). The car in the foreground looks mid-60s.
This is a photo of CPR's coach yard that was located just west of main street.
