Description: "The building of a narrow-gauge trans-island railway in 19th century Newfoundland was a reckless and desperate experiment. Against unpromising odds, the Newfoundland Railway began operation on June 29, 1898 and operated relatively successfully for well over half a century. This book focuses on the railroad's early years and the contributions of railway engineer R.G. Reid"--Provided by publisher.
