Newfoundland used to have a narrow gauge 3 foot 6 inch railroad system but both it and Prince Edward Island now have no railroad service.

In Newfoundland three types of diesel locomotives were used - G8 (which also existed in a standard gauge version) and the NF110 & NF210 models. Wagons from the mainland were retrucked at Port aux Basque so that goods did not have to be transhipped and two standard gauge switchers were stationed there for loading and unloading the ferries.

The headquaters of the Newfoundland Railway were at St. John's in an elaborate stone station with the locomotive servicing facility and maintenance shops close-by.

Here two of the G8s, which were built to a smaller loading gauge that permitted them to travel on all the branch lines in Newfoundland, are being serviced after returning with the mixed train from Carbonear and Argentia (a two day round trip) on 21 September 1976.

The following morning 927, a larger NF210 which along with the NF110 was mainly used for freight (and earlier passenger) haulage on the main line between Port aux Basques and St. John's, is switching St.John's yards with one of the passenger coaches used on the mixed train - note the small loading gauge - and several standard gauge boxcars that have been retrucked to narrow gauge.

Later in the morning three G8s 802, 804 & 803 prepare to leave the station in St John's with the mixed train to Argentia. Both the station and the railroad shops can be seen in the background.

The final picture shows the difference between a NF210 (939 in the front) and a NF110 (903 in the rear). 903 has a barrel type headlight with illuminated number and additional louvres on the hood. These details are better seen in the larger pictures.
