Voie ferrée et « Lu vieille Louise » / The railroad and "The Old Louise"

English: , Business was booming and a decision was made to expand. After Father Fiset's death, the company borrowed $100,000 to build a railroad between the quarry and the Fiset wharf. A steam locomotive was purchased along with ten four-ton wagons, which the locals jokingly referred to as "The Old Louise"., Bad luck soon followed when the Amethyst was shipwrecked forcing the company into bankruptcy. All of its assets were sold at auction. It was a sad end to what had seemed such a promising project for Chéticamp residents., (légendes photo / photo captions: ) , A.
