Summary

[edit]
Description Map of the now defunct Newfoundland Railway displayed in the Railway Coastal Museum in St. John's. It's tragic how so many countries and territories thought it fit to abandon their railways! The Newfoundland Railway operated on the island of Newfoundland from 1898 to 1988. With a total track length of 1,458 km, it was the longest 3 ft 6" gauge narrow gauge railway system in North America. The railway was officially abandoned on October 1, 1988. Following abandonment, work trains continued to operate, assisting salvage crews to remove the rails from remote locations, particularly in the Gaff Topsails between the Exploits River and Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador. The last train, prior to work trains removing rails, arrived from Port Aux Basques and departed Corner Brook eastbound on September 30 and arrived at Bishops Falls on the morning of October 1, 1988.
