Newfoundland T'Railway, Provincial park and rail trail in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The Newfoundland T'Railway is a recreational trail that follows the former Canadian National Railway line across the island. It spans hundreds of kilometers, connecting multiple communities from the western coast to the eastern edge.
The railway line closed in 1988 after serving the island for decades. The provincial government acquired the abandoned tracks and transformed them into a public trail during the 1990s.
The trail links communities that once relied on rail connections to move goods and people across the island. Today, locals use it as a recreational route while keeping the memory of rail travel alive in the region.
The trail features different surfaces in different sections, ranging from packed stone to asphalt near towns. Wear sturdy footwear and check local conditions before heading out, especially on rougher stretches.
The trail forms part of a much larger network that extends all the way to Canada's western coast. This connection allows walkers to follow a route spanning multiple provinces and diverse landscapes.
