ROBERT SAMSON The Island of Anticosti lies in the Gulf of St-Lawrence at 45 miles north-east from the Gaspe peninsula Que., at its nearest point and 22 miles south from the north coast at its nearest point. It is a low island of 137 miles long and .. 35 miles across at its widest points. This island has been given to the explorer Louis Joliet by the King of France Louis the XIV in 1680. After Louis Joliet and his descendants, the island had many owners until bought in 1895 by M. Henri Menier of France. After his death in 1913, his brother Gaston, a french senator became the owner. In 1926 the island was sold to a new pulp and paper company called "Anticosti Corporation" which became in 1931, Consolidated Paper Corporation Locomotive No.1 built by M.L.W. in 1910. The four wheels under the tender w.re replaced by two regular 4-wheel trucks in 1912 at the same time that the engine was converted from wood to coal-burning. No.1 was in service until the end of 1936, and was scrapped in the Fall of 1939. Collection, Lionel Lejeune. CANADIAN 135 R A I L Locomotive No.2, a Heisler 4 - 4 weighing 90,000 Ibs. In this view at Port Menier, No.2 was almost new in 1912 or 1913. Iri service until the end of 1930, this locomotive was scrapped in the Fall of 1939. Collection, Lionel Lejeune. Locomotive No.3 was also a Heisler 4 - 4 and weighed 100 000 Ibs. It arrived,pt Port Menier in 1912 or 1913 (more likely 19f2), and was in service until the end of 1934, being scrapped in the Fall of 1939. Collection, Lionel Lejeune. CANADIAN 136 R A I L Ltd., and again in 1967, Consolidated-Bathurst Ltd. Finally the Uuebec Provincial Government bought the island in 1974. Today, the only village is Port Menier with a population of about 150 permanent residents. When M. Menri Menier became the owner, 2 little villages already existed on the island, one at Fox Bay located at the north­ east end of the island with 16 families living in shacks. This little village has completely desappeared in 1900. Anse-Aux-Fraises located at the sauth-west end, very close the west end, had a population of 26 families living in comfortable houses. M. Menier commenced in the spring of 1896 to built his main village at Baie Ste.Claire (Formerly English Bay) located at the west end completely, and where already 6 or 7 fishermen were established with their families, constructed a saw-mill, his main office, houses, warehouse, a farm etc. A wharf of 300 feet long was also built in the bay and the first railroad on Anticosti Island was built from the end of that wharf going to the farm with a branch to the warehouse and another branch to the saw-mill for a total length of one mile. This was a Decauville narrow gauge railroad (1' 11t") brought from France by M. Menier in 1896 or 1897. The little flat cars were horse-drawn. In 1899 M. Menier noted that the Baie Ste.Claire did not offer a good shelter for ships, and decided to move his main village to Baie Gamache (Later Port Menier) which was located deep enough Locomotive No.4, a 4-6-0 built by Baldwin in 1913 arrived at Port Menier the some year. It weighed 140,000 lbs. and was in service until December 1930, being scrapped in the Fall of 1939. Collection, Lionel Lejeune. r CANADIAN 137 R A I L Anticosti Railway locomotive No.5.

The distance between Baie Ste. Claire to Baie Gamache (Port Menier) is 8t by the road. In the fall of that year already 900 feet of wharf had been done on a total length of 3500 feet which was completed the next year. Later 300 more feet and a breakwater were added. Another little Decauville narrow gauge railroad was used in the construction of that long wharf. The flat cars were also horse-drawn. In 1904 arrived on the island the first steam locomotive. A Decauville narrow gauge (Approx. 30 inches) tank type. Arrived with her some flat cars and new tracks. The purpose of that railroad was to carry goods from the end of that long wharf to different places in the village and for general purposes. This narrow gauge railroad was replaced with standard gauge in 1910-11. This had been rendered necessary due to M. Menier's intentions to make some logging operations. A total of 38 miles of tracks including sidings were laid from the end of the wharf to 27 miles in the wood, 8 miles of branches also in the wood and 1t miles in the village of Port Menier. Around 1919 almost all the families which were living in the villages of Baie Ste.Claire and Anse-Aux-Fraises had moved to Port Menier.

EDITORIAL Judging from the large numbers of letters from members, issue number 70 seems to have been well received, and I am most grateful to all those of you who took the trouble to write, particularly those who either sent or offered articles and photographs. We are gradually building up a stock of articles, but as mentioned before, the provision of suitable illustrations for these articles is still something of a problem and I will be most pleased to hear from anyone who can offer any good, sharp, black and white pictures of any aspect of the narrow gauge. It is a great pleasure to be able to include in this issue an article from one of our Australian members while two other illustrations in this issue have come from contributors in America and East Germany. I very much hope this will be the start of a trend and I will be receiving many more contributions from those of you living overseas who have access to much material denied to us in Britain. · From the next issue I hope to use this page to comment on various aspects of the narrow gauge scene (but NOT internal Society affairs) and will always be pleased to receive your views for possible inclusion in our correspondence pages.

  • Narrow-Gauge Railways, of Two Feet Gauge and Under
    376 JULY 1898. NARROW-GAUGE RAILWAYS, OF TWO FEET GAUGE AND UNDER. - BY Mn. LESLIE S. ROBERTSON, OF LONDON. __ The circumstance that the Members of the Institution are to have the opportunity, through the courtesy of Sir Arthur Percival Heywood, Bart., of inspecting an interesting example of a very Narrow-Gauge Line of his own design, ?or which all the details, mechanical and otherwise, have been carefully thought out by its designer-and the coincidence that this meeting of the Institution is being held under the presidency of one of the leading locomotive engineers of this country-render the present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the Institution some facts in connection with this class of Light Railways. The whole subject of light railways cannot be treated within the limits of the present short paper, which is confined to narrow-gauge railways of two feet gauge and under: although the author is personally of opinion that the circumstances which would justify the adoption of a gauge under two feet must be of an exceptional character. Comparatively few engineers realise the capability of narrow-gauge railways, and the saving that can be effected by their adoption, when applied to large industrial undertakings. Several instances have come under the author's notice, where the judicious adoption of light narrow-gauge lines, such as those dealt with in this paper, has resulted in considerable financial benefit to those concerned in them. Reasons for adoption.-Narrow-gauge lines of this class may be roughly divided into two categories:-first, where the work to be done is of a permanent and constant nature, enabling the line'to be laid down as a fixture ; and second, where the work is of a temporary character.

  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.
