Rails to the Atlantic : exploring the railway heritage of Quebec and the Atlantic provinces / Ron Brown. by Brown, Ron, 1945- Dundurn Press, c2015. Call #: 385.09714 B879r Subjects Railroads -- Québec (Province) -- History.   Railroads -- Atlantic Provinces -- History. ISBN:  9781459728776 (pbk.) Description:  142 p. : ill. ; 21 x 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  Eastern Canada's railway heritage. Preserved railway stations in various states of use. The architecture of the grand era of station building in Quebec City, Halifax, and St. John's. Scenic railway excursions on the Orford Express or Le Train du Massif de Charlevoix, and VIA Rail's destinations in remote northern Quebec. Rail trails lead through the Laurentian mountains and Quebec's Eastern Townships. Museums exhibits of Newfoundland's colourful railway heritage, and Canada's largest railway equipment display near Montreal. Magnificent railway hotels include the Fairmont Le Château Montebello and the Algonquin Resort, as well as the stunning Chateau-style station hotel at McAdam, New Brunswick. Often forgotten are the railway bridges and trestles, stunning feats of engineering that stretch across wide valleys and churning rivers, the construction of which sometimes led to deadly consequences. Lesser-known attractions, such as roundhouses and employee housing, are profiled to help bring the railway era back to life.
