The Chemin de fer de la Rivière Romaine Шаблон:Reporting mark (in English, the Romaine River Railway) is a Canadian short line iron ore mining railway operating in eastern Quebec.
Description
The railway runs for Шаблон:Convert from the port of Havre-Saint-Pierre on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River inland to a massive ilmenite (titanium iron) deposit at Lac-Allard. At Havre-Saint-Pierre, the mineral is loaded aboard bulk carriers and shipped upriver to the port of Sorel-Tracy. COGEMA operates a train ferry that connect with the line.[1] QIT also operates passenger trains for workers, as the mine is not accessible by road.[2]
The Romaine River Railway began operating in 1949 and is owned and operated by QIT-Fer et Titane, which is a subdivision of the Anglo-Australian company Rio Tinto Group.[3]
