The Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway was a railway in the Canadian province of Quebec. It was the first to connect the city of Hull to Montreal, Quebec City and the United States. In 1880, it crossed the Ottawa River over the Prince of Wales railway bridge; this linked the Chaudières Falls sawmills to Montreal and to the United States via Brockville. The Railway was owned by the Province of Quebec, but was sold to Canadian Pacific in 1882.[1]
