In the sale to GRO, Canadian Pacific kept trackage rights to Quebec City for its unit grain trains to the Port of Quebec's grain elevators. CP sends a few grain trains per week from January to March. As soon as January 1998, new motive power appeared in Quebec City and much of the leased locos were returned to their owner in the first months of 1999. At the end of March 1998, QGRY began transporting automobiles. Canadian Pacific now has an exclusive contract with Chysler to distribute automobiles to Eastern Canada, so QGRY handle them for CP as sub-contractor.
Automobiles are unloaded inside Quebec yard.
For this purpose, QGRY installed gates at Quebec yard's both entrances for protecting their new merchandise. QGRY regularly have about 5. Since the removal of CN's St-Raymond sub, QGRY yard is the nearest rail access to Valcartier Millitary Base. At late fall, QGRY built a lumber loading facility at the west end of it's Quebec yard. Revenue service on the new spur began in January 1999.
