Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes the establishment of a permanent seaport at Saint Catherine's Bay and outlines the formation of a railway known as the Quebec, Montmorency, and Charlevoix Railway that would connect the port to cities in the West. The author asserts that this new port will be the onl…y one in the province of Quebec accessible during the winter months and will have direct rail connections to all railways on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River. The author describes in detail the country that the proposed line will service, describes the industries of the region, and provides statistics on population and freight traffic. The book also discusses the local and international competitive advantages such a port would provide, including shorter rail and shipping distances compared to existing routes, and the potential impact on trade between Canada and Europe. Ultimately, this text argues that the construction of the Quebec, Montmorency, and Charlevoix Railway would yield immense social and economic benefits.
