This is one of the last remaining rail cars of what was once a glorious and magnificent reign on the island of Newfoundland. Truly the end of an era. / / The Railway was a critical part of Newfoundland’s history from 1882 until 1988. It enabled Newfoundlanders to travel far and wide. It brought freight of all kinds, but most of all it proved that Newfoundland had truly entered an age of prosperity. The railway was originally called the “people’s road” and was meant to last forever. / / Unfortunately, the high cost of maintaining the service and the slowness of the trains (22 hours from St. John’s to Port aux Basques – 12 hours by car) ultimately forced the shutdown of the rail service in 1988. It was replaced by a modern and efficient Bus Service, but for those of us that grew up “riding the rails”, there will always be a special place for the trains. / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /

I found an old derelict from the past today; on one of my drives. This is the interior in an old Snow plow. I guess this is where the engineer must sit and look out the windows in front. Behind this seat is the sleeping area. / / This is the Snow plow this shot came from… up top at the windows is where the cab is. / / All Aboard / / / The Sleeper… / / / Engine Trouble / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography /

This is the interior shot of the snow plow, It looks like this was the sleeping area. Just to the front of the cab is the engineers seat. It is now a hangout spot for the local youth by the looks of the trash and graffitti. / / More pics from the series: / / All Aboard / / / Ghost Rider / / / Engine Trouble / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography

A lone burned out boxcar by the river. Looks like the teenagers use it as a party house. Beer bottles and graffiti….......

THIS C-119 FLYING BOXCAR WAS ALWAYS A FAVORITE CARGO PLANE OF MINE. JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THE TWIN BOOM CONFIGURATION. I ALSO LIKED THE LOOK OF THE C-124 GLOBEMASTER, BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY SHOTS OF THAT ONE. ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL GO BACK OUT TO TRAVIS AFB AND TAKE A COUPLE OF SHOTS OF ONE, THEY HAVE ONE AT THEIR MUSSEUM. BUT, WITH THE WAR IN IRAQ, I CAN’T GET ON BASE, SO IT WILL BE A WHILE.

This is a photo I took while on board a train. This is the mail room or mail boxcar on the train itself. The train is no longer running and is now open to the public as a museum piece. I love old trains and you will see plenty of them in my gallery.

Infrastructure and engineering serves as a moving art gallery. Boxcars have become canvas.
