After a lengthly wait, southbound 369 finally came into view, slowly working upgrade under a lucky patch of sun, as the morning's clear dome gave way to uncertain sky.
That's quite remote railfanning, having almost bust the F150 in two while working the back trail between Miguick and Linton. Next time, we will walk for sure.
Linton, once the junction point with the Linton subdivision who ran 40 miles to the town of LaTuque with operation discontinued in February 1921.
Parts of the roadbed are still visible along with the bridge pillars, still in the Batiscan river.
Not so much remain of the small village who once occupy the area along with the wye track and engine house used by the Quebec & Lake St.John Railway, the builder of the line who originally ran from Quebec City toward Chambord Junction.
