But that doesn't mean there aren't a few of them around. The Railway Society of Newfoundland has collected some of them, and put together a cute little area not far from downtown Corner Brook. It's right across the street from the water.
The "Newfie Bullet" was popular in the 1920s and 1930s, but some engineering problems sentenced it to the dustbin of history. However, it lives on here. A couple of other trains are on the small site, including the railroad snow plow shown here. The plows first turned up on the island in 1957, and are still in use in certain sports of Newfoundland according to reports.
There are certain hours for tours of the area, but we just showed up and walked around the outside of the trains - taking a peak inside the cars and the station. The train buffs out there no doubt will be entertained by the display.
