Sydney & Louisburg Railway Museum

I think there might be a few of these still kicking around the island.

Thinking about Harvey MacLeod and all he has done for the S&L Railway Museum over many years. A former locomotive engineer on the S&L, he was also part of the fabric of our museum, from guiding decisions to captivating everyone's imagination through his amazing storytelling. His passion has been such an important part of our inspiration, and how we share a part of ourselves with the many people that come to visit from all over the world. He will be remembered for how much he gave back to his community over his life, and honoured through the stories our little museum continues to tell. Sincere condolences to the MacLeod family.

This S&L train, nicknamed the Broughton Flier, is shown in 1916 transporting soldiers from the Cape Breton Highlanders 185th Battalion, who recruited, organized and trained out of the now ghost town of Broughton, Cape Breton during WW1. They would then proceed to Aldershot, NS before heading overseas to take part in the war effort, arriving in Great Britain in October of that same year. Photo from the Roderick Jackson collection

Louisburg postcard 1910.

Rail construction and completion in 1950 for the spur line to the fish processing plant. From the Huntington Diaries Sept. 9, 1950: "At Louisburg today, the Underpars and railway spur along Commercial Street, which was completed early last month, was used for the first time, when an engine and box car of the Sydney and Louisburg Railway ran over the line to the site of the proposed Fish Plant. The engine was number 42, driver Frank O'Keefe, fireman Archie MacVicar, conductor Malcolm Henry MacDonald, trainmen Charles Dickson and Charles Bagnell. "
