Comments on: SPARTAN BUT SPECTACULAR. The sunlight reflects from what remains of the previous winter’s snow through the windows of Terra Transport Coach 757 to illuminate its spartan but comfortable interior at the flag stop of Quarry. Originally built in 1943 as coach No. 40 for the Newfoundland Railway by the CC&F it was assigned to the Bishops Falls – Corner Brook run from 1984 to 1988 after the mixed runs on the branchlines were cancelled. Were it not for the excitement of the photographers and his girlfriends first run on a Newfoundland train, the radiant heat from the oil stoves (one in each end and tended to by the conductor) and the huge comfortable vinyl seats, it would be so easy to drift off to sleep with the gentle rocking and rolling of the narrow gauge train.
