Newfoundland Rail Scenes  © R.P.N.                 Issue No. 4   Carbonear Subdivision

Former railway station at Clarke's Beach, mileage 17.3 on the former Carbonear Subdivision. The subdivision extended from Brigus Junction to Carbonear, a distance of 38.5 miles.  Scheduled passenger service on the Carbonear Subdivision ended on Sept. 20, 1984, when the "Shoreliner" mixed train made its final round-trip run from St. John's to Carbonear.

Freight service on the Carbonear Subdivision continued sporadically until about 1987. The line was abandoned and the rails removed in 1988.
