Throwback Thursday - Pinafore Park Railway

Locomotive number 3 is stopped with its passenger car at the station in Pinafore Park on May 27, 1990.

Pinafore Park is a large municipal green space located in St. Thomas, Ontario.  Between 1964 and 1997 the Pinafore Park Railway operated in a segment of this park.  The railway consisted of a loop of 42 inch gauge track, along with an engine house and service area. Three locomotives were on the roster. Numbers 1 and 2 were 0-4-0T steam locos previously operated by the Huntsville and Lake of Bays Railway. Number 3 was a GE 25-ton diesel originally owned by Bowater Newfoundland Ltd. 

Here is my “souvenir ticket” dating back to late May in 1990.
