1. Title: A Historical Moment in Newfoundland's Railway History: The Railway Bridge at Fishels River (1902) This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a significant moment in Newfoundland's railway history. Taken in the year 1902, the image showcases the Railway Bridge at Fishels River, an essential infrastructure element of the Newfoundland Railway. The bridge, with its robust and intricate design, spans the picturesque Fishels River, connecting the rail line that once stretched across the island. The Newfoundland Railway, a vital transportation network, was a testament to the determination and resilience of the people of Newfoundland. The railway line, which opened in 1898, was the first major railway in the British Empire outside of the United Kingdom. It played a crucial role in the economic development of the island, facilitating the transportation of goods and people, and contributing to the growth of various industries. In this photograph, we see the railway bridge standing strong against the backdrop of the rugged Newfoundland landscape. The rocks along the riverbed add texture and depth to the image, while the gentle flow of the water beneath the bridge creates a sense of tranquility. The railway tracks, leading off into the distance, hint at the vast network that once connected communities across the island. The presence of a fisherman and an angler in the foreground adds a human element to the scene. Their focus on their activities highlights the importance of the natural resources that the railway facilitated the transportation of, such as fish and other seafood. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of Newfoundland and its railway system. It serves as a reminder of the role that infrastructure played in shaping the island's economy and connecting its communities.
