From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quebec and Lake St-John Railway is a railway in Canada which connects Quebec City to Roberval on Lac Saint-Jean. The Quebec and Lac St-Jean Railway was the first to be built on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, in 1869. The railway, 229 km long[1], reached Roberval in 1888 to allow the colonization of the region; which encouraged the creation of numerous hunting and fishing clubs all along the route dotted with lakes in an entirely forested region. In 1918, the railway was integrated into the Canadian National Railway.
