Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Montmorency Falls and St. Anne De Beaupre
St. Anne Railway by taking the electric car at the ferry, which runs directly past the station.
For pilgrimages, special arrangements are generally made, whereby pilgrims arriving by the trains of the first two mentioned railways are conveyed to St. Anne without changing cars, and in the case of the last three mentioned railways trains run alongside of the steamboat landing.
The trains are run principally for the accommodation of the pilgrims and the various time-tables are arranged with this end in View, the hours of arrival and departure being so fixed that the pilgrim has ample time for the performance of the devotions to the good St. Anne, and return to the city in time to catch either train or boat for home. This saves carriage hire and hotel expenses.
For the accommodation of tourists and others, large and commodious electric cars run at frequent intervals between Quebec and all points on the railway. It is claimed that these electric cars run at a greater rate of speed than any other electric railway service.
It is difficult to describe in words the dainty beauty of the scenery along the route of the St. Anne Railway. It is one of the richest spots in natural picturesqueness in Canada, and has been the cradle of the Canadian people, besides being the scene of many historical events.
