The Chemin de fer Arnaud, now Chemin de fer Arnaud Quebec (reporting mark CFAQ) (formerly ARND and CFA) (in English, the Arnaud Railway) is a private Canadian short line railway owned by Société ferroviaire et portuaire de Pointe-Noire (SFPPN) operating in the province of Quebec.
[1][2][3] Opened in 1965 by the Wabush Mining Company, which mines iron ore in Wabush, NL, the railway operates a line running around Sept-Îles Harbour from Arnaud Junction, on the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway to ship loading facilities at Pointe-Noire.
QNSL transports the ore between Wabush, NL and Arnaud Jct., QC.
In 2011, Genesee & Wyoming began control of Northern operations on behalf of the owners under the name Western Labrador Rail Services.
Currently, this railway (along with the TSH line, QNSX, and WABL) form an isolated railroad network, as it does not directly interchange with any other rail lines on the North American network at this time, aside from rail ferry service via COGEMA to the CN Rail port at Matane, Quebec.
