Quebec Atlantic Oriental Railway
The Quebec Oriental Railway was the name for a railway running along the southern shore of the Gaspe peninsula, Quebec, Canada, opened in 1907 from Matapédia to (eventually) Gaspe Town. The railway was taken over by Canadian National, which then split off its passenger services to VIA Rail, which shuttered the Montreal-Gaspe train line in 2013. History The line of the Quebec Oriental began as an endeavour of the Atlantic and Lake Superior Railway, envisioned as a line from Gaspé to the Great Lakes. The project didn't get far, and only constructed a line from Matapédia to Caplan in the 1890s. The Quebec Oriental was chartered to extend the line to New Carlisle, and the Atlantic, Quebec and Western Railway extended it further to Gaspé. The line was then fully taken over by Canadian National in 1923. The tracks this train operated on have changed ownership several times in recent years. Until 1998, the tracks from Montreal to Gaspé were owned by Canadian National Railway ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
