The Charlevoix Railway (Chemin de fer du Charlevoix) operated arguably the most spectacular passenger rail line in Eastern Canada between Montmorency Falls near Quebec City and La Malbaie. The 90-mile line clings to the mountainous north shore of the St-Lawrence River and includes 2 short tunnels. The main station and maintenance facilities were located at Baie-St-Paul. This photo shows the afternoon train to Montmorency Falls about a mile out from Baie-St-Paul. The consist is an ex-Deustche Bahn multiple unit diesel (Baureihe 628 series). The line hasn't carried freight traffic for many years. We'll see if post-COVID tourism is enough to keep it going.

    Interesting. At first glance, this looks like somewhere in Europe!
