An attempt to travel by Amtrak from Boston to Buffalo proved
to be a big fizzer. The first section of travel, from
Boston to Albany, was replaced by a (single) bus, due to
track work, and it stopped at all stations where the train
would have stopped, making the journey very tedious. The
second section Albany to Buffalo was by rail, but in the
dark, so we did not get to see much railway activity.
However, here a few photos from that trip.

On our
cruise from Boston to Rotterdam
and return, we spent a day in St. Johns,
Newfoundland, where there was once a thriving railway. Now
completely defunct, the station at St Johns has been
preserved as a museum, and here are some photos taken at the
museum.

On the same day that we visited Port Stanley, we also went
to St Thomas, and checked out the Elgin County Railway
Museum, where they have CN5700 stored as a static exhibit.

Port Stanley is a delightful little tourist railway
operating over the last 11 kms of The London and Port
Stanley Railway Company, construction of which was completed
in 1856. Port Stanley is on the shores of Lake Erie, and
was once a thriving port, shipping out coal and timber via
the Great Lakes. We went for a ride on the train, and
enjoyed great Canadian hospitality!

Oops! I added some more of Bill's photos, then discovered
that I had already done so nearly seven years ago! That is
how long it has taken me to finish this batch of photos.
Sorry, Bill!

A recent visit to New Zealand and the Bay of Islands saw
some updates to what I previously called the "Opua" railway.
The line into Opua is currently closed, but the
Bay of Islands Vintage Railway
still operates out of Kawakawa, and there are plans to
re-open the line to Opua

Close friend Bill MacIntosh sent me a folder of photos of
the Pichi Richi Railway, so I promised to add them to these
pages, to augment what I already have. More to come
