Illustrations (photographs and line drawings). Cover has color illustrations. Signed on title page. "Passenger train service started in Newfoundland in June of 1882. Sixteen years later the first trans-island passenger train arrived in Port aux Basques, connecting with the S.S. Bruce, thus inaugurating a regular service to Canada and the United States. Learn about the trains and schedules in subsequent years and the magnificent service provided during World War II. Follow the exciting story up to the last regular passenger train of July 2, 1969 and the end of rail service on September 30, 1988. Read about the Foreign Express, the Overland Limited, the Caribou and our beloved Newfie Bullet -- a Newfoundland treasure." - from the rear cover Contents: 1. Newfoundlanders Get Railway Fever, 2. The Reid Era Begins, 3. Branch Line Construction and Exit of the Reids, 4. Post Reid Era and Birth of the Newfie Bullet, 5. Train Service Under Canadian National Railways, 6. Last Years of the Newfoundland Railway, 7. Remembering the Newfie Bullet, 8. Short Stories of the Newfoundland Railway. The Dominion of Newfoundland became the 10th province of Canada when it entered Confederation on March 31, 1949. At that time, CNR took over the operations of the Newfoundland Railway, a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge railway network running across the island. At the time that CNR took over operations, the premiere cross-island passenger train was called The Overland Limited. CNR renamed this train in 1950 to the Caribou and it maintained approximately the same 23-hour schedule from St. John's (also the eastern terminus of the railway on Newfoundland), to the system's western terminus at the ferry terminal in Port aux Basques, where connecting ferry services to the North American railway network at North Sydney, Nova Scotia were made. The 23 hour schedule sealed the fate of the Caribou when the Trans-Canada Highway opened across the island in 1965, allowing automobiles to travel between Port aux Basques and St. John's in under 12 hours. By 1967 CN was running "Roadcruiser" buses in competition with its own trains. While the train took a day and a night to cross the island, the bus took a meager 13 to 15 hours. Many people fought against CN by claiming the buses could not handle the rough winters. Their argument was crushed when a train derailed in the winter and all passengers were transferred to bus. By 1969 CN worried that there would not be enough buses to handle the summer traffic, So they planned to keep the trains running for a little bit longer. But just before the summer a new group of buses arrived and CN was able to cut the service. CN withdrew the dedicated passenger trains in July 1969. CN maintained limited "mixed" passenger and freight train service to certain isolated communities on the island until the complete abandonment of its narrow gauge system in the fall of 1988. Boosters of the railway had long pointed to the line as a necessity for Newfoundland. Its construction was proposed as "the work of a country," a line that would lessen the island's historic dependence on the fishery and create a modern economy driven by land-based resources. Opponents saw the line as a ruinous expense and indeed as a stalking-horse for Confederation with Canada. A closer examination of the history of the Newfoundland railway can only lead to the conclusion that each vision had some merit. Seller Inventory # 73519
