Does Route 148 from Montreal to Ottawa follow the Quebec-Gatineau Line? How many points does the line run right beside the road? And once into Gatineau, where is the yard?

And once into Gatineau, where is the yard?Between Lachute and Gatineau, the road is always close to the track. You may view the train at every cross-road. A really good place is at Plaisance, West of Montebello, where the tressle bridge is right next to road 148.

This is the Lachute Sub right or does it change names when CP tracks turn to Q-G?It is still called Lachute Sub between Ste.Therese and Gatineau. There is one train per day in each direction, usually at night, on weekdays only. The new QG yard is the old CP yard at Ste.Therese. They relocated there last year when the Outremont yard was closed. The main entrace to the yard is on Grande-Allee street in the town of Boisbriand. It is close to the interchange between highways A-15 and A-640. You get a very good view of the yard from the Grande-Allee crossing, allowing you to take pictures from the street without having to walk on QG grounds.

CP retained ownership of the tracks. They only leased them to QGRY.
So the CP has also sold their St.Maurice Valley sub and the St-Gabriel sub from Trois-Rivieres to Grand-Mere and from Lanoraie to Notre-Dame-des-Prairies to the QGRY which he has an interchange to the Chemin de Fer de Lanaudière (Lanaudiere Railway) to St-Felix-de-Valois to Bell-Gaz.
