Gander River Cabin

On November 30,2008, the sun shining, but cold, four brave souls (Eric Button, Doug Bennett, Clayton Hann and myself) set off on ATV's
from Gander using the old railway bed to go to Eric & Doug's cabin on the Gander River. Went on the rail bed as far as Glenwwod and then took a woods road that brought us to an access point to a trail leading to the cabin. Spent the day there, justing relaxing and had a great meal, as usual. The pictures above shows the cabin and a view of the Gander River looking across at some other cains. A great spot.

Newfie Bullet near Lockies

This is a nice picture of a mural of the old Newfoundland Railway train, dubbed the "Newfie Bullet", because of the narrow gage track that it ran on, meant that the train had to travel at slower speeds than the standard gage track. In the background is the residence of the "Human Wind Gage", Lockie McDougal, who lived at "Wreckhouse" which was known for winds high enough to blow trains of the track. McDougal advised the Railway when it was too windy to pass through the Wreckhouse area. Also in the background are the beautiful Table Mountains, which of course helped to generate the high winds. This mural can be found on the Railway exhibit building in Port Aux Basques.
