Caption: BOARDING AT BRIGUS JUNCTION - Travelling with four University of Toronto friends - including the late James A. Brown - to celebrate Canada's Centennial by riding Newfoundland's endangered passenger train 'Caribou', John Freyseng of Ontario was able to capture some amazing narrow gauge images. Just before boarding, he photographs the rear of CN Train No. 212, the Carbonear Mixed before entering the mainline on the St. John's Subdivision on June 22, 1967. As evidenced by the rear end car 6009, John's keen eye captured the unique railroading found only in Canada's tenth province and perhaps in all of North America. Caboose/Cabin Car 6009 was originally built as second Class Coach 114 in November 1902 by the Reid-Newfoundland Company in St. John's and its spartan interior of wooden benches and bunks for the crews remained until the very end. By the early 1970's all such cabin cars on the three operating branchlines were replaced by the steel coaches from the now cancelled 'Caribou'. Having chased and photographed this train up and down the Carbonear Branch, John would board and experience the ride for himself as far as Holyrood where he would detrain to join his friends in pursuing it to St. John's. More of 1967 John Freyseng beautiful photos can be seen in my TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, released by Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions.
