hen the residents of Newfound- land voted to become Canada’s tenth province, they brought


with them 700 miles of railroad. The 42-


The Canadian National built the 6048-6052 series of cabooses for its narrow gauge Newfoundland Division using the frames of old flat cars. These wood-sheathed cars were built at the shops in St. John’s and the utilitarian design had neither a traditional cupola nor a bay window. One side had a single, slightly off center window and the other side had three windows. There was also a window at each end along with a door and an extra storm door. The outer door opened away from the end window. The orig- inal maple leaf paint scheme can be seen on cars 6049 (right) and 6048 (below right). The color view of 6049 (top) shows the later “wet noodle” scheme. This picture also pro- vides a good view of the outer storm door.
