	Terra Transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The majority of the Newfoundland Railway's operations were not economically self-sustaining, requiring significant subsidization, however it was only after the construction of the Trans-Canada Highway across the island in the early 1960s that the railway began to see serious declines in traffic.
		CN's operations in Newfoundland revolved around the former Newfoundland Railway, which was the longest narrow gauge railway in North America, stretching for 1000 kilometres across the island from the ferry terminal in Port aux Basques to the provincial capital at St.
		During the last years of the railway on Newfoundland in the early 1980s, it was common to see trains composed almost entirely of the distinctive TT containers.

	254-R-1992 -- Complaint - Atlantic Container Express Inc.
		The Government of Newfoundland and APTC maintain in their submissions dated March 23 and March 19, 1992, respectively, that the Agency should stay these proceedings until the outcome of the Government of Newfoundland application to the Federal Court of Appeal for leave to appeal Agency Decision No. 266-R-1991.
		The Agency notes the contention of the Government of Newfoundland and APTC that the Agency erred in its May 22, 1991 Decision wherein it was concluded that the movement of traffic to Newfoundland must be costed as the traffic actually moves.
		The Agency is of the opinion that the historical assessment of whether a railway rate to Newfoundland was compensatory was premised on the existence of an all rail move between North Sydney and Port aux Basques.

	Railway: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		But there were also crucial junctures in Newfoundland history when the railway proved its worth: the beginnings of the pulp-and-paper industry in the early 20th century, during the two world wars, and the post-Confederation boom years.
		The railway did indeed fulfill some of the ambitions of its earliest promoters, as a "development road." The line and associated developments in heavy industry, transportation and communications were key to developing the forest industries of Newfoundland, mining and hydro-electricity.
		The railway itself, and attempts by the Reid family to encourage development of the lands awarded under various operating contracts, not only made the vast interior known but further made the potential of land-based resources a staple of public policy.

		Upon returning to Newfoundland Reid applied to the new Bond government to have the 1898 contract assigned to a limited liability company, having learned that British financial backing to develop his lands would not be forthcoming as long as the “Reid empire” remained a sole proprietorship.
		In 1905 Reid offered to sell all his Newfoundland holdings to the government for $9.5 million, or just his interest in the railway and steamships for $3.5 million, because he felt that animosity towards the Reid Newfoundland Company was making its continued operation of the railway unworkable and hindering the development of its lands.
		In Newfoundland questionable motives and high-handed political tactics later became associated with the name Reid, but these may be in large part attributed to his sons, and particularly the mercurial William.

		The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador submits that it is not the task of the Agency to rule on the appropriateness of or the rationale that underlies the Term.
		This is based on the railway company's control of, and responsibility for, the freight from the point of origin to destination with the choice of mode, whether rail, truck or water, being determined by the railway company.
		Notwithstanding, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador asserts that CN does have an obligation to serve Newfoundland, as evidenced by its undertakings to the Agency in 1993 as part of its proposed conveyance of the Truro to North Sydney railway line to the CBCNS.
