Railpictures.ca - James A. Brown, Collection of Kenneth G. Pieroway Photo: THE LEGACY OF JAMES A. BROWN – CARBONEAR END OF THE LINE. As part of a Centennial Year celebration, James A. Brown and four University of Toronto friends and spouses travelled to Newfoundland to ride and record the last of the Island’s mainline passenger services. While there, they took a day to explore the Carbonear branch and capture some great images. As seen at the end of the 38.5-mile branch, Caboose/Cabin car 6009 and Baggage 1308 wait for the G8’s to finish switching and return CN Train No. 212 to Brigus Junction on June 22, 1967 and assume the new number of 232 over the mainline to St. John’s. More of James work, as well as a slew of other North American rail photographers, can be seen in my upcoming BRANCHLINES OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released in a special all-colour hardcover edition this spring by Seaweed Publishing of St. Brides, NL | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
