Eastern Quebec's Ore Lines Volume I (DVD)
Cartier Railway
Quebec Iron & Titanium's Romaine River Railway
Far off in the wilds of eastern Quebec, isolated railroads haul heavy trains of iron ore from remote mines to docks along the St. Lawrence River. Volume I of Eastern Quebec's Ore Lines covers the action on the Cartier, an all-Alco-powered railroad. Cartier's fleet of big, six-axle M-636's growl and smoke as they lug long trains across the line.
One of the most remote railroads in all of North America is explored as we travel to Quebec Iron & Titanium Romaine River Railway in far eastern Canada. No access roads have been built to the company's mine, so workers must be transported to the facility on a passenger train.
The scenery is fantastic and the railroad action non-stop. You'll be dazzled by Cartier's big Alcos, working hard and toiling their way across Quebec's beautiful landscapes. We visit the open pit mine and learn how the iron bearing rock is processed. At Port Cartier, we're treated to a tour of the locomotive and car shops. A visit to the dispatcher's office reveals a modern, computerized CTC system in operation.
Experience the thrill of big-time, heavy haul railroading at its finest, filled with Alco power and fantastic scenery, as Pentrex explores Eastern Quebec's Ore Lines, Volume I.
