| - Le train à vapeur Hull-Chelsea-Wakefield, géré par une entreprise privée, était une attraction touristique de la région administrative de l'Outaouais. Tracté par une ancienne locomotive à vapeur originaire de Suède, il circulait, de mai à octobre, sur les 64 km de la ligne entre la ville de Gatineau et le village touristique de Wakefield, au Québec. Il pouvait transporter plus de 500 passagers pour un voyage de cinq heures, dont trois dans le train et deux au village de Wakefield. (fr)
