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. |
