   Shiny new CN hopper cars eastbound on Hi   
   31 Dec 16 13:31:26   
   
   We were driving west on Highway 138 in Quebec about a week ago, maybe   
   20 minutes east of Mont Sainte Anne, and saw something very odd -- a   
   convoy of 4 heavy haul trucks each carrying a brand-new (or newly   
   repainted), short hopper car with CN markings.   
      
   There's a rail line that goes as far as La Malbaie, and supposedly it   
   does have freight customers, but it's not used in the winter.  Aside from   
   that, is there any rail on the north shore of the St. Lawrence east of   
   Quebec City at all?   
      
   I'm at a bit of a loss where these could have been going, and why.   
      
   Anyone have any ideas?
