| This coach was the first bogie vehicle delivered to the railway, it having previously only used four-wheeled stock, most of which was later mounted onto steel underframes with two coaches per frame. Having been originally designated with second class compartments (the central four compartments formed one open compartment) the company later abandoned second class and the coach was modified as above to create two open third class compartments. This vehicle remained in periodic service until 1965; at the end of the 1974 season it was moved to St. John's for winter storage and badly damaged in the devastating fire there on 10th December 1975; what remained was nothing more than ash and twisted metal and the coach was therefore written off, the end of the line's first bogie carriage. |
