Steam locomotive no. 1 with a snow plow about 1930. The first locomotive on the TNVR was No. 1. It is shown here with a short train consisting of a former Canadia Pacific snow plow and a flat car loaded with boats for the woodland logging operation. The TNVR caboose brings up the rear
Steam locomotive no. 1 in the yard at Thurso about 1930. A flatcar has been fitted out with a "pickel barrel" for water. This additional capacity would allow the small locomotive to range further without having to return to Thurso for supplies.
A posed picture of no. 2 with a loaded train southbound on the Jasmin Trestle. The engineer in the gangway is Park Smith while the fireman is Euclid Neveu. The Jasmin Trestle was filled in in 1939 so this photo was taken before that time.
The Governor General on his visit of 5 June, 1936. Lord Tweedsmuir and his son are sitting on a flatcar behind car 27. This would have afforded an even better view of the scenery but was not in the plan established by P.B. Bourget to Bourget. Maybe this was a last minute addition for the vice-regal guests.
An embarrassing occasion in which no. 2 seems to have come off all wheels. To make matters worse, a commercial photographer was on hand to record the scene for posterity.
View of a log train taken from the caboose. The method of securing the logs can be seen. Chains were used to secure the bottom rows and are held tight by the logs placed on top.
