I haven't been there, how does it travel the last couple of miles? Last I heard the QNS&L was an isolated railroad. Do they use a barge or load it on some sort of ship, maybe an empty ore carrier ?? Interesting project for many reasons. t4p.

The Port of Montreal had a celebrated crane barge called "Hercules" which handled generations of locomotives.
