While very interesting, that map shows only CURRENT rail lines.  I'm looking for historical ones -- such as those in the 1880s-1920s.

You're not likely going to find any easy, single source of that online. Something this specific you're going to have to do some of your own research on the earliest railroads in the area, and map/track each one independently until you have a picture of all the early lines. (And most of the current lines will have originated from early railroads back then, but you'll have to do some of your own research to figure out which lines were built by which early railroads before being merged or acquired by later roads, or were abandoned altogether.)

Thanks; but neither of the links you provided lead to maps of OLD railways in the Quebec City area.

Welcome to the Model Railroader Forums QC trains.

 

There's a little bit HERE on trains in Quebec City, but quite a bit more on trains to be found throughout the Province of Quebec HERE.

info/maps of historic railroads in Quebec City area
Posted by QC trains on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 7:22 PM

I am looking for information and maps of historic railroads in the Quebec City area.  So far, I've been coming up empty.  I'd like to use this information as a jumping-off point/inspiration for my N-scale layout.

Can anyone help with information and/or maps ?  Or point me in the right direction ?
