T’Railway Council
Newfoundland T'Railway
The Newfoundland T’Railway Council, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to revitalizing the former Canadian National railway line into a dynamic recreational trail that stretches from St. John’s to Port aux Basques. We advocate for a variety of trail activities, including hiking, biking, equestrianism, snowmobiling, ATV riding, and cross-country skiing. Additionally, we are exploring the potential for other activities such as dog sledding and snowshoeing in designated areas.
OUR VISION
To sustainably develop and utilize the Newfoundland T’Railway while preserving its natural environment, cultural heritage, and continuity as a recreational corridor for both current and future users.
The Council’s Objectives are:
1. Collaborate with Community and Government: Work together with community groups and government resource agencies to fully leverage the province’s natural heritage and enhance quality of life.
