Parc Linéaire Le P'tit Train du Nord

The Parc Linéaire Le P'tit Train du Nord (French pronunciation: [paʁk lineɛʁ lə p(ə)ti tʁɛ̃ dy nɔʁ]) is a multiuse recreational rail trail located in Quebec, Canada.

[1] It originally was a railway line operated by Canadian Pacific Railway which operated it at a continuous financial loss since its construction in the 1890s.

Prior to decommissioning, passenger traffic on this line was so scarce that it gave way to the humorous and intricately philosophical and poetic song by Félix Leclerc, "Le train du nord".

[citation needed] It runs for 200 kilometres (124 miles) between Saint-Jérôme and Mont-Laurier and is used for biking, cross-country skiing and hiking.

Le P'tit Train du Nord linear park is a regional recreational and touristic asset for the Laurentian which offers its own residents access to high-quality transportation and leisure activities on the one hand as well as allowing for management of a major tourist attraction generating significant economic benefits for the region on the other.
