Heavy, long trains are the hallmark of the Quebec North Shore & Labrador. Operating some of the longest ore drags in the world at 256 cars, the trains pass through beautiful scenery in eastern Canada. Hundreds of lakes dot the countryside and wild rivers swirl down out of the mountains and through the thick forests. Owned by the Iron Ore Company of Canada, this isolated carrier transports ore 260 miles from the mine to a dock on the St. Lawrence River. The QNS&L operates one of North America’s most obscure passenger trains, running bi-weekly. We ride up front with the crew to bring you miles of cab footage along the scenic line. The railroad even operates a mixed train and freight trains. You may never have known about the QNS&L before, but after viewing the ride up the line you’ll be making plans for a trip to Quebec.
Operations on the Wabush Lake Railway and the Arnaud Railway are also included in our presentation. A fleet of RS-18 locomotives bark and growl as they smoke it up on heavy ore drags. The Alcos are a special treat that you’re sure to enjoy. This is heavy-hauling railroading with outstanding scenery and plenty of action. We visit the mine’s electrified railway and watch as remote controlled robotic trains haul ore from the pits to the plants. Don’t miss the excitement of iron ore railroading, Canadian style, as Pentrex brings you Eastern Quebec’s Ore Lines, Volume 2.

In Part 2 of the recently turned 30 year old 2 part series from 1993, there are even more diesels operating in Eastern Canada, this time on the Quebec North Shore & Labrador, Wabush Lakes, & the Arnaud.
Locations in part 2 include the Moisie River Bridge & tunnel, Milepost 9 with the only grade crossing on the mainline, the north end of Sept Isles Yard with a visit to the dispatcher’s office & the operating room of the rotary dumper where just like the Cartier in part 1, it takes only 2 cars at a time to get the unloading process done, the junction to connect with the QNS&L, & Arnaud, the tunnel at MP 11, Tellier with a Maintenance of Way site, Saumon Camp, Alongside the Nipissis River, Tika at MP 57 to not only meet with a MOW car, but also passing by a line of freight with bunk cars for the workers, Doree Siding, the tunnel at MP 64.8, Tonka Falls, Waco siding to meet with a freight, stopping at Mai for a crew change (note the Helicopter in the parking lot), Eric Siding at MP 138, Oreway, Ross Bay, Labrador City, Wabush, Opocopa, the Ashuanipi River bridge, & Point Noire.
There is also a Helicopter ride over the Canadian Wilderness.
Motive power on the QNS&L contains SD40-2s, with coaches that were originally from the Southern, plus a dome car from the Wabash, a lone GP9 modified into an LCU meaning that the diesel is operated by a remote control from the outside. Plus there is also former Ontario Northland 4-6-2 number 702 sitting on display built in 1921. On the Wabush lakes, there are electric SW1200MGs with horns active every 5 seconds, & on the Arnaud, there are Alco RS18s like the Wabush Lakes.

Eastern Quebec…. not exactly an area most railfans would flood to so they can see something different. So, this is where this video comes in by bringing it to us. Another excellent presentation of the remote region in eastern Canada with heavy, long haulage of ore to the port along the St. Lawrence River. Incredible scenery, plenty of Alco’s, even some electrics at work. This video has it all . With Vol. #1…. favorates in my collection.
