May 29 2000 Jonquiere Quebec
The VIA train from Montreal to Jonquiere in the Saguenay region of Quebec is largely a remote service train.  As well as joining the two regions of Quebec it supplies transportation into many beautiful lakes which are used as vacation spots.  It seldom carries a dome car.

On this particular trip (which I had taken as part of my goal to ride all VIA passenger routes), Evangeline Park had been chartered to take a business group to a lodge.  After the group got off, normal passengers were allowed to enjoy the treat of watching the beautiful scenery along Lac St Jean from the comfort of the dome.
