Tales of the Rails, Volume IV: The Newfoundland Railway 1881-1988

Tales of the Rails gives a brief history of the Newfoundland Railway, particularly the period from the 1930s to the 1980s. It outlines some of the trials and tribulations encountered by the railway workers and tells of the men and women who carried on through both the hard and the happy times. Tales of the Rails is a tribute to the warmth, humour, and vitality of a people whose lives have formed a rich and vital chapter in the history of the Newfoundland Railway. Clayton D. Cook worked with the Newfoundland Railway for thirty-three years, from 1936 to 1940 and from 1941 to 1969. He served the railway well through his years of service and, in this volume, commemorates the men, women, and machines with which he worked. Tales of the Rails is sure to be a mainstay for many future generations of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
