Quebec - Canadian Railway Museum
Delson/Saint-Constant (Montreal), Quebec - the Museum is home to the largest collection of railway equipment in Canada and is one of the most remarkable of its type in North America. The historical value of its collection is such that in 1978, the National Museums of Canada recognized it as being the specialized museum in Canadian Railway history.
Over the past fifty years, the Canadian Railroad Historical Association has collected and preserved exceptional archival documents and rare railroad and tramway artefacts, testimony of the major role of rail transportation in Canada's development.
These artefacts reflect the know-how and sometimes harsh living conditions of the thousands of rail workers.

Quebec - Funiculaire du Vieux-Québec inc.
Quebec City, QE - Built by William Griffith, the first funicular went into aporation on November 17, 1879. The cabins scaled up and down the escarpment by means of a counter weight water process and steam power. In 1907, Alexander Cummings converted the funicular to electrical power.
On July 2, 1945, a massive fire destroyed the structure. Reconstructed in 1946, the new funicular was equipped with metal shelters. In 1978, major renovations were undertaken and glass cabins offered a panoramic view.
In 1998, the funicular was entirely revamped with modern technology. In 2004, the funicular celebrated 125 years of services. A book was published and the event was commemorated with a statue. This is the only funicular of its kind in America.
