The Newfoundland Railway carved a pathway through the wilderness, and the very heart of the island of Newfoundland. Stretching almost 900 kilometres, this was the longest narrow-gauge railroad in North America. The railroad has long been decommissioned but the rail bed remains, stretching from Port Aux Basques to St. John’s. This island-wide corridor runs through all manner of scenic landscapes and natural beauty; from thick forests to wide-open barrens. It winds its way through over 30 municipalities, connecting communities all across the island of Newfoundland. The T’Railway is part of The Great Trail of Canada and links urban, rural and wilderness environments. The legacy of the railroad can be seen in the trestles, bridges, station houses and rail cars found in this beautiful, linear park. It’s beauty and accessibility are maintained with the help of the Newfoundland T’Railway Council (https://www.trailway.ca/) and the Newfoundland and Labrador Snowmobile Federation (https://nlsf.org/).
