I posted this in the 'Travel' forum, but thought it might be of interest of some folks on this forum, too...
I've spent a fair amount of time exploring the old Newfoundland Railway 'Branch Lines' on an offroad motorcycle, this past year. Many of the old Newfoundland Railway branch line routes were decommissioned as far back as the 1930s, and nature is slowly reclaiming these old railbed routes.
Here are a few of my photos from trips spent exploring the old branch lines on my motorcycle during the summer of 2006
Engine number 900 left to the wolves...
The Bonavista line at Trinity Bay...
Engine number 900's horns...
Bonavista branch line trail...
Caplin Cove railway bridge...
Argentia branch line railbed...
Railway bridge near Western Bay...
Clarenville Tunnel...
Avondale Station : The oldest surviving station in Newfoundland...
