…....“ the Narrow Gauge gets into your blood – it will not 'out' ”....
Terra Transport's daily train #204's power shuffles cars,
and the final move is to attach the CN ( TT - open window) Coach onto the consist to comply with the Transport Commission's order to provide the remote 137 mile route with daily passenger service* from Corner Brook (departing 18:45) to Bishop's Falls (arriving 23:35).
At Corner Brook, August 2, 1982 Kodachrome by S.Danko
The Power:
four GMD 1956 to 1960 built NF210's: TT#910 ; TT#940 ; TT#917 ; TT#919 (CN noodle)
plus TT#918 in tow (CN zebra livery) - ground out relay issue
Note the fresh ballast on the main track (foreground).
Today, I understand that the rail right-of-way is now a vehicle highway.
