Talk:Channel-Port aux Basques

dual guage?

The article alludes to the port serving railway stock or more than one gauge, but it doesn't say why. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geo Swan (talk • contribs) 05:21, 27 December 2004 (UTC)

ANSWER: Canadian boxcars used standard gauge trucks. However, the railway in Newfoundland was based on the narrow gauge of the old Reid Railway. This difference meant more employment for workers in the Port aux Basques yard who originally swapped trucks so that the boxcars from Canada could continue on their way across the Island toward St. John's. This was phased out as the entire system switched to a container system. Eventually, in 1988, the entire rail system in Newfoundland was terminated. Usable equipment was sold to countries in South America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.163.150.83 (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

A video of the removal of the tracks in the Port au Port area is available at the Kindale Library in Stephenville Newfoundland. WayneRay (talk) 21:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)WayneRay

Population Discrepencies

In the infobox, the population is reported as 1,170, but in the demographics table, it's reported as 1,260. The demographics number seems to come from 2006, while the infobox number is from the 2011 census. Are there any more recent demographics we could use?
