Some of the Folks in the ECD

What’s a Division without the people to make it? Here are some of the many people who make up our Division.

Some Modeling Action

Our Modelers

 

The ECD sports some of the best model railroaders around. In addition to Master Model Railroaders, we have several accomplished modelers making some superb creations in many scales. These include locomotives, various freight and passenger cars as well as structures. A number of our members also have incredible home layouts featuring realistic operations and scenery.  

 

Here are some pictures of their accomplishments.

Prototype Rails

 

The Atlantic region has a very long and impressive history of rail activity beginning before Canada was formed as a nation. Although neither Prince Edward Island nor Newfoundland and Labrador have any active rail today, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are both served with world-class operations from local and national railways.

 

Here are a few pictures of action around the region and a few pictures of long lost  days of rail in Newfoundland.
