Le Tortillard Du Sainte Laurent excursion train rolls through Baie St-Paul, on the Murray Bay Subdivision returning to Quebec City.  Le Tortillard Du Sainte Laurent was an excursion train on the very scenic Murray Bay Sub which ran eastwards from Quebec City on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.  The train utilized a rebuilt CN GP9RM, leased GO Transit coaches and a former Tempo baggage car which was equipped with a HEP generator.  The train operated in the summer months between Quebec City and La Malbaie.  The line ran through beautiful small towns such as St. Anne de Beaupre and ran largely on the shores of the St. Lawrence River - just use the attached map and follow the line for a bit!
