CAMP - III    FALL OF 1953
View of Camp-III from the lake next to camp. Camp-III is about three miles south of Terra Nova. Our huts are on
the left with the mess tent on the right. The railroad is just beyond camp. Some of the fellows are on the beach with the
boats. Jerome Young photograph.
The Canadian National main line in the
foreground with our two speeders. In the
background is our mess tent. There was
no rail spur at Terra Nova so we had to
put our speeders on and off by
manpower.

Across from Camp-III and the railroad
track is the pole line we worked on. Our
flag at camp can just be seen over the
tree tops. Silhouetted in the water is one
of our new poles and a rock crib.

View of Terra Nova Station.
Note that single blade train order signal.
The Terra Nova river is just around the
curve.
On Oct.2,1953, I had to leave from this
station at Terra Nova, to report back to
McAndrew AFB. It was raining cats and
dogs as I boarded train No.16, the
"Newfie Bullet," at 11:18P.M. for
McAndrew AFB. I arrived at
McAndrew at 1:30 P.M. the next day.
On the 27th of Oct., I and five other
airman flew by C-124 transport to
Thule, Greenland to splice a 800 pair
telephone cable into the telephone office.
Thus my days at Camp-III ended.
