Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: A replica of the steam locomotive Dorchester.
Located near the very first railroad in Canada, the Champlain & St. Lawrence Rail Road (1836), Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum has preserved and showcases Canada’s largest railway collection and is among the largest of its kind in the world. Operated by the Champlain & St. Lawrence Rail Road Company, Canada’s first railroad was inaugurated on July 21, 1836 on Montreal’s South Shore, between La Prairie and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. The 23-kilometre long stretch of track runs parallel to an old portage route previously used to transport merchandise from the St. Lawrence River to the Richelieu River and nearby waterways, i.e., Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. The Dorchester’s inaugural trip between La Prairie and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu marked the true beginning of Canada’s railway adventure. Initially, the North-South axis was used for trade with the United States and the East-West axis was developed later. |
