# Quebec Atlantic Oriental Railway

The Quebec Oriental Railway was the name for a railway running along the southern shore of the Gaspe peninsula, Quebec, Canada, opened in 1907 from Matapédia to (eventually) Gaspe Town. The railway was taken over by Canadian National, which then split off its passenger services to VIA Rail, which shuttered the Montreal-Gaspe train line in 2013.

## History

The line of the Quebec Oriental began as an endeavour of the Atlantic and Lake Superior Railway, envisioned as a line from Gaspé to the Great Lakes. The project didn't get far, and only constructed a line from Matapédia to Caplan in the 1890s. The Quebec Oriental was chartered to extend the line to New Carlisle, and the Atlantic, Quebec and Western Railway extended it further to Gaspé. The line was then fully taken over by Canadian National in 1923.
The tracks this train operated on have changed ownership several times in recent years. Until 1998, the tracks from Montreal to Gaspé were owned by Canadian National Railway (CN). That year, CN sold the lines between Rivière-du-Loup and Matapédia, as well as Matapédia to Gaspé to Quebec Railway Corporation which established two subsidiary companies, the Chemin de fer de la Matapédia et du Golfe (Matapedia and Gulf Railway) and Chemin de fer Baie des Chaleurs (Chaleur Bay Railway) respectively.
In 2001, CFBC sold the portion of the Matapédia to Gaspé line east of Chandler to Chemin de fer de la Gaspésie (Gaspé Railway) which is owned by local municipalities with maintenance contracted to CFBC.
In 2007, CFG purchased the remainder of the line from Matapédia to Chandler after the CFBC listed it for abandonment.
In 2008, CN purchased the CFMG line from Rivière-du-Loup to Matapédia, returning to ownership of this line after QRC encountered financial difficulty.

# Evenings at Home

Evenings at Home, or The Juvenile Budget Opened (1792–1796) is a collection of six volumes of stories written by John Aikin and his sister Anna Laetitia Barbauld. It is an early example of children's literature. The late Victorian children's writer Mary Louisa Molesworth named it as one of the handful of books that was owned by every family in her childhood and read enthusiastically. In their introduction, the authors explain the title in these words:
   ...As some of them [the Fairborne family] were accustomed to writing, they would frequently produce a fable, a story, a dialogue, adapted to the age and understanding of young people. It was always considered as a high favour when they would so employ themselves; and when the pieces were once read over, they were carefully deposited by Mrs. Fairborne in a box, of which she kept the key. None of these were allowed to be taken out again till all the children were assembled in the holydays. It was then made one of the evening amusements of the family to rummage the budget, as their phrase was. One of the least children was sent to the box, who, putting in its little hand, drew out the paper that came next, and brought it into the parlour. This was then read distinctly by one of the elder ones; and after it had undergone sufficient consideration, another little messenger was dispatched for a fresh supply; and so on, till as much time had been spent in this manner as the parents thought proper. Other children were admitted to these readings; and as the Budget of Beechgrove Hall became somewhat celebrated in the neighbourhood, its proprietors were at length urged to lay it open to the public...
The book was translated into French. W. S. Gilbert took the title for one of his plays, Eyes and No Eyes (1875), from one of the stories in the collection. Ichchharam Desai translated these stories in Gujarati as Balkono Anand (1895).
# Southern Rails Cooperative

The Southern Rails Cooperative Ltd. (SRCL) (reporting mark SORA) is a Canadian short line railway company operating on trackage in southwest Saskatchewan. Southern Rails Cooperative was the first shortline railway to operate in Saskatchewan and operated as the first modern common carrier shortline railway. The railway is a farmer owned co-operative that operates two short-line railways in Saskatchewan, totalling 71 km of trackage: the former Canadian Pacific Railway Colony subdivision that runs from Rockglen to Killdeer, and the former Canadian National Railway Avonlea subdivision that runs from Avonlea to Parry, The company subsequently expanded along the Avonlea subdivision into Moose Jaw.
The railway uses a custom built Brandt Road Rail vehicle that was built from the chassis of a Kenworth highway tractor. The rail vehicle is very similar to those used by the Canadian Pacific Railway through their maintenance of way (MOW) department. This vehicle enables the railway to move rolling stock from both rail lines efficiently even though the branch lines are 160 km apart.
The SRCL network connects with two class I railways. At Moose Jaw SRCL connects with Canadian National, servicing stations at Truax, Avonlea, Briercrest and Tilney; while the Colony subdivision connects to the Fife Lake Railway (operated by the Great Western Railway) at Rockglen. Once the producer grain cars arrive in Assinaboia, they are interchanged onto the Canadian Pacific Railway.

# Magna Britannia

Magna Britannia, being a concise topographical account of the several counties of Great Britain was a topographical and historical survey published by the antiquarians Daniel Lysons and his brother Samuel Lysons in several volumes between 1806 and 1822. It covers the counties of Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, Cumberland, Derbyshire, and Devon. The work was curtailed in 1819 on Samuel Lysons' death.
Unlike other similar works published in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Magna Britannia is of significant value to economists and social historians because the Lysons brothers included content on topics such as population, manufacture and commerce. They were also far less preoccupied than many antiquarians with coats of arms and pedigrees, and did not overstate the grandeur of the counties, as local topographers were apt to do.
An earlier work under the same title had been compiled by Thomas Cox.

## Volumes

* Volume 1, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire, 1806
* Volume 2, Cambridgeshire and the County Palatine of Chester, 1810
* Volume 3, Cornwall, London, 1814
* Volume 4, Cumberland, 1816
* Volume 5, Derbyshire, 1817
* Volume 6, Devonshire, 1822
