In Our Backyard: Trinity Loop, Trinity NL Fall 2022

Trinity loop was an unusual feature of the Bonavista Branch line of the former Newfoundland Railway. In order to manage the grade, the tracks looped around a small pond before passing under themselves near the Town of Trinity. The decommissioning of the Bonavista branch and main railway left only a select few sections of track in place - one of which was around the 'Loop'. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the loop had a second life as an amusement park complete with a train.
