The book tells the story of the railway from its earliest beginnings in the 1860s, when local business people in Quebec and Sherbrooke sought to implement rail service in their region. The largest of Quebec's regional rail carriers, the QCR was also, for some period of time, one of Canada's most profitable systems. After the Depression, the QCR entered a long decline culminating in its abandonment in 1994. Its subsequent rebirth under new management in 2000 added yet another chapter to the history of the railway, this one as a "short line." This most recent business incarnation of regional railways in Canada survived until 2006." Queen1 "

The home port of the Merchants and Miners Line was Baltimore, and although company ships also steamed into Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Charleston, Jacksonville, and even Miami, it was one of the few major coastal lines that did not regularly serve the port of New York. The first trip of a Merchants and Miners vessel was in 1852 when a group of Baltimore "Merchants" decided to start a steamship line between Baltimore and Boston. One local product in demand by New England factories was coal mined in the western part of Maryland and areas farther west. This accounted for the "Miners" in the name of the new company. Promotional pieces called the company "The Queen of Sea Routes." 175 illustrations." Queen1 ""
