Great Video, I travel the Gaspe line once a year and spend a few days in Perce ,It's very nice trip and i recommend everyone travel it at least once before the line is closed or it washs into the bay .
@laredo75 Well, if they actually do get this tourist train up and running they may be able to survive. There's still plans for a propane terminal in Sandy Beach at the end of the line as well. With all the pulp mills and the copper mine gone, it isn't looking good. They're still pumping a lot of money into repairs however.
Excelent video! The Cascapedia runs through my back yard at M.P. 11 It's sad that there isn't much traffic on the line like it used to be when I was a kid. I hope business picks up soon.
@clam502 I know, I can remember seeing New Carlisle yard full of boxcars back before CN sold the line in 1998. I was 6 at the time. That line has employes at least 9 relatives over the years.

Hello ! No I am not gaspé but the Matapédia valley near Amqui, that is why I regularly see the train go to gaspé. My father working for the CNR for nearly 40 years.
@GrandCanyon01 my grandfather worked for the CN there for 39 years and I have two great uncles that also worked with CN on the Gaspe. I have other relatives that worked for the former Quebec Oriental Railway.
