Quebec: Meeting to discuss possible road from Kuujjuaq to the south

[Kniwt]

Nunatsiaq News reports today that Quebec officials will hold a meeting in Kuujjuaq next week to discuss a preliminary study on building "a road from Kuujjuaraapik to Radission and a road or railway linking Kuujjuaq to southern Quebec's road network." It also mentions another possibility: "a road from Baie-Comeau on Quebec's North Shore leading north from route 389 at Fermont on the Quebec-Labrador border."

That's a map of railways. Still want it? (No, I couldn't find one.)

not in that case.  thanks for identifying it.  I had thought it was roads - active and proposed.

I now have a new favorite placename.

A bit of fun for the capital, Iqaluit: go there in Google Maps (http://g.co/maps/9pe9t) and zoom out. Keep zooming until you see a feature you recognize. That city is far away from everything.

It says "Chemins de fer" (iron roads) in the lower right.

Also known, to a generation of boys who read John Christopher's Tripods books (or the Boys' Life magazine comic-strip adaptation) when growing up, as a "Shmand-Fair."

I believe regular ferry operations stop at Nain, or at least they used to. You have to be very determined to reach those northern outposts.
