About harricottbay

A railfan since childhood, I published my first book, 'RAILS ACROSS THE ROCK - A Then & Now Celebration of the Newfoundland Railway' all in colour in 2013. In September 2014, I released the follow up titled, 'RAILS AROUND THE ROCK - A Then & Now Celebration of the Newfoundland Branchlines' featuring the various branch and industrial lines. Most recently, I released STREETCARS OF ST. JOHN’S in September of 2019 and it features images from 1900 to 1948 of the most easterly street railway in North America and their modern day color counterparts. I have just released my fourth book on the Newfoundland Railway in September 2022, TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND from Flanker Press. An all colour photographic journey by train from St. John's to Port aux Basques with 116 locations and spanning the years from 1951 -1988.

THE LEGACY OF JAMES A. BROWN - A CARIBOU CLIMBING. 55 years ago, while travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including John Freyseng - to celebrate Canada's Centennial, the late James A. Brown boarded Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou' and was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. During his 22-hour, 547 mile journey to the provincial capital of St. John's he photographs CN Train No. 102, the eastbound Caribou with leading unit NF210 919 continuing to climb the infamous Gaff Topsails just past Pond Crossing on one of the longest days of the year. With arrival at Gaff Topsail scheduled for 18:40 and a little over a mile or so away, many have already finished up a delicious meal in Diner 173 and according to his friend John, will spend several delightful hours being entertained in Diner/Café Car 172 at the head end. I chose this particular image to honor the memory and the legacy of the wonderful work of a man who became a dear friend and mentor while assisting me with several of my publications including RAILS ACROSS THE ROCK and RAILS AROUND THE ROCK. More of his breathtaking images can be seen in my latest, TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, hard and softcover editions by Flanker Press.

MAIN DAM MOMENT - On his second run on the Bishops Falls to Corner Brook mixed train, the photographer was prepared to shoot it crossing at its restricted speed of 15 MPH over Main Dam in the Island's interior. As seen from the rear of Coach 757 of Terra Transport Mixed Extra 926 West, the lower side of the 24 metre high, 244 metre long is nearly dry but on the left, water is almost up to the tracks and backed up for 130 kilometers along Grand Lake, the Province's largest. The Ambursen-type structure was built in 1924 to provide water for electricity for the new pulp and paper mill in Corner Brook. The resulting flooding required an 11 mile diversion from Howley to Intake, all paid for by the Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Company. Coach 757 was nearly empty that day, with the exception of the photographer, his cousin and their girlfriends (now wives). With both lead engines running cab-forward (not standard operating practice in Newfoundland), this very train and yours truly was unknowingly captured by railfan Mike Shufelt who was visiting from Maine. Some twenty years later, the two of us would meet and Mike would share his beautiful image of me waving from the vestibule of the coach that day! More of my rail photography can be seen in my just released TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND from Flanker Press!

CARIBOU CLINGING TO CLIFFS - Continuing eastward with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Looking forward from his unique vantage point in second unit NF210 911, he photographs CN Train No. 102, the eastbound 'Caribou' rounding the high cliffs above the Humber Arm of the Bay of Islands just east of Curling. With the Humbermouth area of the City of Corner Brook in the background, Engineer Kevin Byrne and Fireman Austin Bennett up ahead will take the 919, 911 and the rest of the consist to its next stop in Corner Brook for a crew change in Newfoundland's second city. With the expert driving of Engineer Byrne, seen here navigating his train around rocks that are just inches away from the cab window, the train will descend to nearly sea level just ahead. More of John Freyseng's 1967 photos, as well as James A. Brown's, can be seen in my just released TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, from Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions.

CARIBOU NEAR CORNER BROOK - Continuing eastward with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Looking rearward from his unique vantage point in second unit NF210 911, he photographs CN Train No. 102, the eastbound 'Caribou' rounding the high cliffs above the Humber Arm of the Bay of Islands just east of Curling. With the backdrop of the Blomidon Mountains, Engineer Kevin Byrne and Fireman Austin Bennett up ahead will take the 919, 911 and the rest of the consist to its next stop in Corner Brook for a crew change in Newfoundland's second city. This location was the site of one of the worst train disasters on the Island when on September 13, 1966, freight 203 and a yard switcher train collided head on, killing three men and injuring others. More of John Freyseng's 1967 photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions in the Fall of 2022.

THE LEGACY OF JAMES A. BROWN - A NARROW GAUGE NEWFOUNDLAND MEET. 55 years ago, while travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including John Freyseng - to celebrate Canada's Centennial, the late James A. Brown boarded Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou' and was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Before resuming his 22-hour, 547 mile journey to the provincial capital of St. John's he photographs CN Train No. 101, the westbound Caribou with leading unit NF210 #925 about to take to the siding for its scheduled meet with the eastbound No. 102. Train orders and the 1967 timetable dictated that 102 could not proceed on to Corner Brook until it had met and passed the eastbound on June 20, 1967. One of several engines still wearing its original colours at the time, the 925 and the rest of the 101 would continue on to Port aux Basques in time for passengers to make the William Carson gulf ferry connection for North Sydney at 11:30 PM that night. I chose this particular image to honor the memory and the legacy of the wonderful work of a man who became a dear friend and mentor while assisting me with several of my publications including RAILS ACROSS THE ROCK and RAILS AROUND THE ROCK. More of his breathtaking images can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 23, 2022.

BRANCHLINE AT BRIGUS - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. While waiting for CN Train No. 212, the Carbonear Mixed to arrive, he photographs a lone outside braced boxcar on the siding adjacent to the station at historic Brigus on June 22, 1967. John's keen eye also captured the unique two story station design seen here and at dozens of other communities along not only this and the other branchlines but also the mainline. The color scheme of cream with green trim was left over from the pre-confederation days of General Manager Herbert J. Russell's tenure as by now most were being repainted grey and the freight sheds red. Founded in 1612, Brigus was the birthplace of famed artic mariner and explorer Captain Robert Bartlett and his still standing home, Hawthorne Cottage, has been declared a National Historic Site. John would continue to chase and photograph this train until arrival at Brigus Junction and the mainline where he would board and experience the ride for himself as far as Holyrood. With the station demolished since 1972, this site now consists of a major storyboard featuring a James A. Brown image taken moments after this one of the Carbonear mixed arriving at Brigus. More of 1967 John Freyseng photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions in September 2022

HEADING TO HARBOUR GRACE - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Here he photographs a going away view of CN Train No. 212, the Carbonear Mixed, crossing Mt. Pleasant Road on the approach to the tiny station at Harbour Grace on June 22, 1967. Returning to St. John's, the trio of boxy G8's on the head end almost equal the revenue cars including baggage 1308 and combination coach/caboose 6009 and this unique train, including the diesels consisted of specially built 'Newfoundland' narrow gauge equipment. John's keen eye captured the unique railroading found only in Canada's tenth province in one of the oldest settlements in North America. Founded in 1517 by King Francis 1 of France, and headquarters of famous pirate Peter Easton, Amelia Earhart departed Harbour Grace not far from this location on May 20, 1932 to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. John would continue to chase and photograph this train until arrival at Brigus Junction and the mainline where he would board and experience the ride for himself as far as Holyrood. Harbour Grace would see its last mixed train on September 20, 1984 and following abandonment, the rails were taken up in 1987. More of 1967 John Freyseng photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions in September 2022.

THE LEGACY OF JAMES A. BROWN - Exactly 55 years ago today, while travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including John Freyseng - to celebrate Canada's Centennial, the late James A. Brown boarded Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou' and was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Before resuming his 22-hour, 547 mile journey to the provincial capital of St. John's he photographs CN Train No. 102, the eastbound Caribou with NF210's 919 and 911 waiting on the mainline at Cooke for its scheduled meet with the westbound 101. Besides the two units, this train had a steam generator unit, express boxcar, baggage car, cafe car, four coaches, diner and four sleepers and his meticulous note taking included the numbers and names of each. I chose this particular image to honor the memory and the legacy of the wonderful work of a man who became a dear friend and mentor while assisting me with several of my publications including RAILS ACROSS THE ROCK which featured this as the cover image. More of his breathtaking images can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

ST. JOHN'S SCENE - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. From high atop the South Side Hills, he photographs a downward view of the busy St. John's yard and the colorful homes after disembarking from a 22-hour overnight journey on CN Train No. 102, the eastbound 'Caribou'. The NF210 diesels are mostly repainted in the new noodle image but yet a handful will still remain in the old green and gold paint for another two years. The much smaller G8 to the right will have at least two of her five sisters wear the olive green until late 1978. The yard contains a mix of standard steel 'Mainland' 40-foot boxcars and the smaller narrow gauge outside braced ones, built specifically for Newfoundland operations. The Victorian era station, built with granite from the famous Gaff Topsails, opened in 1903 in an area that was reclaimed from the headwaters of the Waterford River and the St. John's Harbor. Once again, his friend Jim who while standing alongside him, captured pretty much an identical image. Today, nearly all is gone and the Pitts Memorial Highway Overpass intersects this scene but the station survives as the Railway Coastal Museum. The last scheduled train to pull into this yard was Terra Transport Extra 944 East on September 29, 1988. More of 1967 John Freyseng photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press on September 9, 2022.

CRUISING INTO CARBONEAR - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Here he photographs a sideways view of CN Train No. 211, the Carbonear Mixed, entering its namesake town near the end of the 38.5 mile branchline on June 22, 1967. The trio of boxy G8's on the head end almost equal the revenue cars including baggage 1308 and combination coach/caboose 6009 and will turn on a wye to back into the station prior to departure as No. 212. This unique train, including the diesels consisted of specially built 'Newfoundland' narrow gauge rolling stock. John's spectacular vantage point was taken from the top of Saddle Hill Road, then the only access into the town that was settled in 1631 and has seen its share of pirates and attacks by the French during battles over British ownership. Once again, his friend Jim who while standing alongside him, captured pretty much an identical image that has appeared in several publications. The last mixed train to Carbonear was on September 20, 1984 and following abandonment, the rails were taken up in 1987. More of 1967 John Freyseng photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

KEEPING AN EYE IN KELLIGREWS - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Here he photographs a rearward view of CN Train No. 208, the Carbonear Mixed, departing Kelligrews for St. John's while westbound freight CN No. 401 waits on the siding in the background on June 22, 1967. His unique vantage point was accessed by climbing on top of a boxcar with his friend Jim who while standing alongside him, captured pretty much an identical image. John and Jim's eye for the human element emphasized the conductor and rear brakeman keeping watch on the two observers with the younger being protected by the older as the train passes by. Caboose 6009 was originally built as second class coach 114 in 1902 for the Newfoundland Railway and later converted for both crew and passengers for branchline service. The community of Kelligrews was made famous in the Newfoundland folk song 'Kelligrews Soiree' by balladeer Johnny Burke in 1904 and recorded by dozens since then. More of 1967 John Freyseng photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

CARIBOU CLIMBING - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Here he photographs from the rear, CN Train No. 102, the eastbound Caribou with NF210's 919 and 911 navigating one of the many S-curves while climbing towards the former flag stop of Red Rocks, mileage 537. Having descended downgrade from the right to cross the bridge at Bear Cove, engineer Kevin Byrne now opens the throttle to climb the grade just before turning left. Only a year earlier, Red Rocks was depopulated and abandoned and no longer a flag stop on the mainline. The Gulf of St. Lawrence is calm today, unlike the night of a major storm on October 20, 1974 which resulted in the mainline track being relocated further inland to the right to avoid further erosion. More of 1967 John Freyseng photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

DIESELS ON DOWNTIME - Prior to travelling westward with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario continued to shoot some amazing narrow gauge images. On the evening before boarding CN Train No. 101, the westbound 'Caribou', he took advantage of the setting sun illuminating two diesels in front of the 1931 Newfoundland Railway diesel shops for an excellent front and rear comparison. NF210's 923 and 931 were two of the series in an order of 26 built in 1956 by GMD of London to forever banish the 4-6-2 Pacifics and 2-8-2 Mikados still in service. The 923 had the distinction of leading the final 'Caribou' into this very spot on the morning of July 3, 1969. Sadly, it was scrapped in 1991 but sister 931 not only survives in pristine condition at the Historic Train Site in Corner Brook, but is the only such engine on static display in the province with it's prime mover intact. More of John Freyseng's 1967 photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

AVALON ON THE AVALON - Having travelled eastward with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario continued to shoot some amazing narrow gauge images. On the third day of his four day whirlwind trip while enroute to the Carbonear branchline, they stop at the Donovan's TCH overpass to capture eastbound 'Caribou' No. 102 just seven miles from the capital city's station on the Avalon Peninsula. Bringing up the rear and carrying the markers is business car No. 2 'Avalon'. Built in 1918 by the CC&F it was originally called 'Quidi Vidi', the private rail car of Sir William Reid, son of railway builder Sir Robert G. Reid. It survived at nearby Bowring Park after the closure in 1988 but eventually deteriorated beyond saving. That day's 'Caribou' had a colorful smattering of not only two different paint schemes but also applied to semi-streamlined and riveted, as well as clerestory and round roof equipment. The remaining cars in the black and green would not see them repainted to the grey and black before cancellation in 1969. More of John Freyseng's 1967 photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

CARIBOU'S AT COOKE - Continuing eastward with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Here he photographs NF210 925 leading CN Train No. 101, the westbound 'Caribou' from second unit 911 into the siding at Cooke as Train No. 102, the eastbound 'Caribou, holds the mainline at Cooke on Newfoundland's scenic west coast. Fireman Austin Bennett keeps a close watch during its scheduled meet with the westbound 101 and once clear, Engineer Kevin Byrne will take the 919, 911 and the rest of the consist to its next stop in Corner Brook. Still wearing the CNR's most handsome paint scheme of green and gold from delivery in 1956, the 925's coat would survive until 1969 before repainting in the newer CN black and red 'Noodle' version.' More of John Freyseng's 1967 photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

CLARENVILLE AT COOKE - Continuing eastward with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Here he photographs CN sleeper 'Clarenville' carrying the markers on Train No. 102, the eastbound 'Caribou' while holding the mainline at Cooke on Newfoundland's west coast for its scheduled meet with the westbound 101. The trainman waits for him to reboard the 8-section/1 drawing room sleeper that was one of six built in 1952 by the Canadian Car & Foundry for the CNR after absorbing the former Newfoundland Railway. Arguably wearing the CNR's most handsome paint scheme of green and black with yellow striping, the 'Clarenville' would be later converted to work car 5012 after the cancellation of the passenger service in 1969.

CARIBOU CROSSING - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Here he photographs CN Train No. 102, the eastbound Caribou with NF210's 919 and 911 about to cross one of the 131 bridges at Bear Cove, just an hour into its 22-hour, 547 mile journey to the provincial capital of St. John's. Besides the two units, this train had a steam generator unit, express boxcar, baggage, cafe car, four coaches, diner and four sleepers. During World War two, engines crossing Bear Cove Bridge, had to extinguish their lights for fear that U-Boats patrolling in the Gulf of St. Lawrence might torpedo the abutments, thus shutting down the mainline. Just two years later on July 2, 1969, the Caribou would cross this bridge for the last time. This and other 1967 John Freyseng photos can be seen in my upcoming TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, to be released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions on September 9, 2022.

JASPER JUMP OFF-During its 40 minute station stop at Jasper, the eastbound Super Continental # 4 gets a full servicing and crew change while the photographer and his fiancée jump off to quickly explore this beautiful gem in the Rockies and capture the 'B' unit getting topped up by a CN fuel truck on September 27, 1988. Now on the return trip to their native Newfoundland after a marriage proposal on the west bound Canadian # 1 on September 24, they chose the 2 night northern route back to Winnipeg to connect with the eastbound Canadian # 2 for the run into Toronto for a few days. Wanting to ride as many different VIA routes as possible on their month long journey, they were waitlisted for a sleeper for nearly six months and learned just weeks before departure that space had opened up, such was the demand at the time for # 4.

NEVERMORE FOR 904. Terra Transport NF110 # 904 has been taken out of service as no longer required and stored along with all her remaining NF110 sisters (900-908) in the Clarenville yard to wait eventual disposition. Built in 1953 by GMD of London with a class of GR12-b, she was among the six of the second and final batch of NF110 narrow gauge 1200 HP units delivered that year. Subsequent units arriving in 1956-1960 would have the NF210 designation. Wearing her second paint scheme of the CN 'Noodle', she and her sisters were often cannibalized for parts to ensure the continued operating of the remaining units still in service. To her left is one of the smaller 875 HP G8 units, # 804, one of six also built by GMD for branchline service and no longer required, and on her right is # 900. While the 904 and 804 would be brought to St. John's in 1988 for scrapping, # 900, the first roadswitcher built for Newfoundland was spared and would spend several years on static display at the Newfoundland Transportation Historical Society in Pippy Park until relocation back to this very site in 2007.(see image 29793)
