Regular passenger service in Newfoundland ended in 1969, but freight service continued until the railway was shut down in 1988. Occasionally, however, a mixed train (with passenger cars attached to the freight train) would run.

This amateur documentary, donated to the Railway Coastal Museum by Mike Smithson, features passengers boarding the train in Carbonear and riding to the station (now the Railway Coastal Museum) in St. John's. It was recorded in 1973 on super 8mm film by Mr. Smithson, Robert Smithson, and Brian Payton, along with one unknown camera man.

This clip is a 5 minute preview of the full 28 minute documentary.
