A railway that owned 51 diesel locomotives and where the daily freight trains have a 548 rail route mile run...(and is now gone...)<br><br>...today, August 2, 1982, the daily train is five hours into the 24 hour run to St. John's: Terra Transport #204 is at the Black Duck River bridge with five NF210's: TT#910 - TT#940 - TT#917 - TT#919 (CN noodle) - TT#918 (CN zebra) with eighty plus cars: a dimunitive railway? Hardly. <br><br>(what's interesting: some distance perspective, compare the Terra Transport Port-aux-Basque to St.John's: 548 rail route miles to the Windsor Ontario to Montreal Quebec: 558 CN rail route miles.)<br><br>More Terra Transport:<br><br> <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=7438"> Terra Transport #232 near Clarke's Beach </a> <br><br> <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=6808"> Terra Transport #206 near Lockston </a> <br><br> <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=6608"> Terra Transport power for #204, Port-aux-Basques </a> <br><br> <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=6220"> TT #927, Port-aux-Basques </a> <br><br> <a href="http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=6336"> TT #929, Corner Brook </a> <br><br>sdfourty.

I remember when the F59's were boring. They still are, but less so than the MP40's that have largely replaced them. Two holdouts, bobtailed 561 and 562 power a westbound train through Pickering, Ontario. 1303hrs.

On the afternoon of July 9, 2011, we were witness to an extraordinary event involving the crew of CP 8772, the RCMP and the paramedics based in Ashcroft, BC. A woman had fallen off a rather steep incline above the Thompson River, onto the roadbed and was severely injured. Happening on the scene was the crew of a wesbound manifest who managed to stop in time to render assistance. The RTC contacted the authorities and made arrangements for the crew to meet the emergency personnel approx. 1 mile west of the accident scene. After cutting the units from the train, the headend power shuttled the RCMP and paramedics to the location. After stabilizing the patient the entire party was transported on the rear unit to an area in order for the patient to be airlifted from the scene. The crew later received commendations and the story was featured on the company intranet news. The professionalism on the part of all concerned was second to none.

Remarks: Train 204, the mainline freight from Port-aux-Basques (ferry terminal and yard on the southwest coast) to St. John's, approaches Goobies in a cloud of brake shoe smoke (there were no dynamic brakes in Newfoundland). Note the agent looking out the window at the arriving train. Goobies was on CN's St. John's Subdivision, 20.9 miles east of Clarenville.
