Caption: MILITARY ROAD MEET. Many may not know that the City of St. John's hosted the most easterly street railway on the entire continent from 1900 to 1948. While visiting St. John's for the Royal Visit of June 1939, the late Thomas Harvey of Grand Falls was able to capture some beautiful images of the Newfoundland Light & Power Company's narrow gauge Birney cars in action. Here NLP #16 is on the siding while NLP #13 continues eastward on Military Road, part of the Belt Line Route to the next stop at the famed Newfoundland Hotel. The steeple of St. Thomas Church can be seen in the background while an almost 'ghostly' horse and buggy appear in front of the woman strolling. Note the horse and buggy on the left side, at the time Newfoundland still observed the British rule of the road which wound not change until January 2nd of 1947. This image - credited to the collection of his son, Dr. Neil Harvey - and dozens of others can be seen in my latest release STREETCARS OF ST. JOHN'S in a 'then & now' format.
