You might enjoy this bit of history about the trail. Winter oriented

The p'tit train started out as a passenger service at a time when roads in that area were not cleared of snow in the winter. My parents sometimes boarded the "snow train" and skied from station to station in the Laurentions to board the train again back to the city. The Maple Leaf trail still exits, I have skied along parts of it. Today, the old rail bed is a 12 month of the year facility. The first good snowfall changes the sport it serves
