This railway (along with the Arnaud Railway , Bloom Lake Railway , QNSX , and Tshiuetin Rail Transportation line) forms an isolated railroad network, as it does not interchange with any other rail lines on the North American network. The Bloom Lake Railway (reporting mark WLRS) (formerly BLRC) is a privately owned Canadian short line railway operating in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. The new operation encompasses the Arnaud Railway, Bloom Lake Railway, and Wabush Lake Railway.
