Thurso and Nation Valley Railway, Published 25 October 1946

The Thurso and Nation Valley has acquired a new Diesel engine. No. 5 and soon will be operating on the Singer Company's private line up into the bush. Even if I do ride this line, it cannot count with me for a "new" railway, since the T & NV is not a common carrier, and is not mentioned in the official book, the Railway Guide. Why the Thurso and Nation Valley Railway has never taken steps to make itself official I do not know since the Guide is full of lines which are operated by private companies. Aluminum companies, lumber companies, copper companies, all have their own railways, and list them in the official book. Meanwhile, whether the railway is officially a railway or not, I hope to get down there some day soon and try it.
