The reason for our travels to Newfoundland was to purchase and load this narrow gauge GE 25 Ton Locomotive. The small switcher had been declared surplus by the Bowaters Paper Mill in Cornerbrook. The Locomotive would find a new home in St Thomas Ontario on the 42 inch gauge Pinafore Park Railway. After the closure of the PPR the Locomotive was moved to Huntsville and is in operation on the Portage Flyer Railway.

On a trip to Newfoundland on the search for 42 inch gauge equipment for the Pinafore Park Railway we stopped at the Mine at Buchans NFL where we found Whitcomb #4 busy sorting Ore cars on a cool day September 1977. I believe this was very near the end of this interesting operation and all that remains are memories and Photos We did purchase a GE 25 Tonner and Flatcar from the Bowaters Papermill in Cornerbrook which operated on the Pinafore Park Railway with the 25 Tonner now operating in Huntsville
