Railpictures.ca - John Freyseng, collection of Kenneth G. Pieroway Photo: CARIBOU CLINGING TO CLIFFS – Continuing eastward 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. Looking forward from his unique vantage point in second unit NF210 911, he photographs CN Train No. 102, the eastbound ‘Caribou’ rounding the high cliffs above the Humber Arm of the Bay of Islands just east of Curling. With the Humbermouth area of the City of Corner Brook in the background, Engineer Kevin Byrne and Fireman Austin Bennett up ahead will take the 919, 911 and the rest of the consist to its next stop in Corner Brook for a crew change in Newfoundland’s second city. With the expert driving of Engineer Byrne, seen here navigating his train around rocks that are just inches away from the cab window, the train will descend to nearly sea level just ahead. More of John Freyseng’s 1967 photos, as well as James A. Brown’s, can be seen in my just released TRAINS OF NEWFOUNDLAND, from Flanker Press in both hard and softcover editions. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
