Follow Rails to the Atlantic through eastern Canadas railway heritage. Visit preserved railway stations in various states of use, or take in the architecture of the grand era of station building in Quebec City, Halifax, and St. Johns. Board scenic railway excursions on the Orford Express or Le Train du Massif de Charlevoix, or travel to VIA Rail's destinations in remote northern Quebec. Rail trails lead through the Laurentian mountains and Quebecs Eastern Townships. Museums exhibit Newfoundlands colourful railway heritage, while Canadas largest railway equipment display lies near Montreal. Magnificent railway hotels include the Fairmont Le Chteau Montebello and the Algonquin Resort, as well as the stunning Chateau-style station hotel at McAdam, New Brunswick.

Lesser-known attractions, such as roundhouses and employee housing, are profiled to help bring the railway era back to life.
