Newfoundland Historic Fact: The Building of the Newfoundland Railway
The construction of the Newfoundland Railway began in the late 19th century. It was a monumental project, connecting the eastern and western parts of the island. The railway faced numerous challenges, including difficult terrain and financial constraints. Despite these obstacles, the railway was completed in 1898. It played a crucial role in the economic development of Newfoundland, facilitating the transportation of goods and people across the island. The railway also contributed to the growth of communities and industries along its route.
