Rails around the Rock : a then & now celebration of the Newfoundland branchlines / Kenneth G. Pieroway.
A celebration of the branchline and industrial railways of Newfoundland. In this follow-up to Rails Across the Rock and on the 30th anniversary of the closing of the last branchline, a photographic journey to the beautiful bays and coves and to the interior of the province. Through images captured from 1956 to 1984, readers can ride the mixed trains on the Carbonear, Argentia and Bonavista branchlines, follow extra freights on the Lewisporte and Stephenville lines and watch trains on the Grand Falls Central and Buchans Railway move their commodities. When the photographs are compared to the same scenes that exist today the changes that have occurred are remarkable, illustrating how both nature and progress have reclaimed the right of way.
