The St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad (reporting mark SLR), known as St-Laurent et Atlantique Quebec (reporting mark SLQ) in Canada, is a short-line railway operating between Portland, Maine, on the Atlantic Ocean, and Montreal, Quebec, on the St. Lawrence River. It crosses the Canada–US border at Norton, Vermont, and Stanhope, Quebec, and is owned by short-line operator Genesee & Wyoming.

The line was built by the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad in the U.S. and the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway in Canada, meeting at Island Pond, Vermont, south of the international border. Major communities served include Portland and Lewiston in Maine; Berlin, New Hampshire; Island Pond, Vermont; and Sherbrooke and Montreal in Quebec.

Hibou,

A thread which brings back souvenirs to my mind. I'm retired since 10 years but was a train driver for 27 years.

Tools pictured with a F&F 99, great knife isn't it ?

A technical notice of a railway line, gradients, radius of curves, switches, signals for spacing and maneuvers. Everything you need to know and take into account. The hiking map somehow.
Printed on a 42 feet long sheet.

The traditional gift, at the time, for a retirement departure. Makes a decent poor man anvil. DSC_0456.JPG

A lot of souvenirs.

At the foot of the building where I live there's a railway tunnel. Until the mid-70s a few service trains still rolled from time to time, provoking a kind of heartquake which afraid nobody, at such an extent that I once lived a real low range earthquake and was the only to remain cool as I hardly noticed anything.

Service diesels replaced the steam but the pressure and steam relief chimneys remained. Until I was 10, when hearing/feeling the rumble everybody rushed to the windows to look at the steam flowing.

That railway's named la Petite Ceinture, the Little Belt, that runs all around Paris since mid XIXth, used for passenger and industrial but also military purpose, the train being never far of the Fortifications that enclosed Paris then.
Unfortunately no project to use these rails again reached fruition and the stations have been sold, most have disappeared or at best transformed into bars or rag shops for fortunate teens and their parents.
Terrains along the track when at open air have been transformed into private gardens.
