Truly the best catch of the trip (besides the Sartigan)
Awesome video, I totally enjoyed it and love the night action!!
You covered a lot of ground in Quebec and got some great shots. Another time around (east of) Montreal there is a nice high bridge in Eastman worth a shot. Around Sherbrooke I shot the ols Orford Express train which is stored in Magog, M420 and all. Hope you had a great time in Canada; food in Quebec City is awesome !

Sdly the Orford Express is all shut down. CMQ was fine with the operation, and despite promises by CP to accommodate them, they were forced out. CMQ provided crews for a reasonable rate, however CP drove the rates through the roof. That combined with the pandemic shut down the operation permanently. There was talk of moving operations to the nearby SLQ, however that fell through as well.

@@Maine_Railfan I agree on both counts, Abbé Thompson was a fanatic for refurbishing. And Bryan knows a good dome when he sees it !!
The exo sunset shot was cool!Feel free to come back to our country.. you're welcomed in Quebec! You make a great ambassador!

I already have big plans to explore further east and north!
the L516 goes to Deschambault, qc at Alcoa its last customers before the end of the Latuque subdivision.
Hey, nice catch. I do work these locals and trust me, rolling on the threstle is a pretty frightening experience. Keep railfanning my dude!
Ah yes, CaillouJambon is a great little ski hill.
Ô my Lord, you have unfortunately mistaken the information of the train that we see at 3:01. The CN L51621 does not go to the city of La Tuque but to the La Tuque Subdivision ;) Otherwise great video!

Thanks for the correction, that makes more sense
Wow Harrison, how'd you manage to ski through those trees without getting a face-full? I never could manage that! In fact I gave up skiing because I got tired of crashing into trees! Ow. Anyway, that's one LONG railroad bridge! It reminds me of "World Famous" Moodna Viaduct on the old Erie. I don't know if Moodna's longer or shorter but both bridges are super-impressive. Soe great catches this trip, and as usual thanks for bringing us along!

I love the thrill of skiing through trees, especially making split second decisions about where to go…
Indeed the bridge is inspiring. The bridge at Lethbridge, Alberta is comparable, as are bridges in the US. The UP (nee, SP) "High Bridge" over the Pecos River near Del Rio, TX and the UP bridge in Washington State over the Snake River (perhaps the Palouse River) are other impressive long bridges.
There's a really long and high railway trestle bridge in Grand Falls, New Brunswick too. It's on the CNR mainline in the Maritimes and sees several trains per day in each direction. You should check it out!
just behind the sainte-foy VIA station 5L14Pm, there is this white little shack that have models trains and a mini railroad outside during summer.

It looks like the passenger rail service in Canada is way nicer than in the US. Just comparing Canadian passenger trains to Amtrak trains is quite a difference. Seems like Canadian railroads take a lot more pride in their passenger rail service and trains.

It’s still a far cry from elsewhere in the world but it’s pretty good- stay tuned as I travel aboard Via in the next couple of weeks!

I live near the trestle. It dominates the landscape in the area near the river.
Cool video ! But you missed an interesting feature, along the river, west of the 'funiculaire' (vertical rail) on the Champlain blvd under the Cote Gilmour, there is an abandonned tunnel(on gogglemaps we see a stone 'canadian pacific', it was the entrance)) going to the other side, near Marie-de-l'incarnation street. And other rails this side but not a lot of trains there... for your next trip!
