About this location
i'm not to sure whats the story behind this place but when i explored it seems like a train museum has went abandoned and sitting behind the museum is a massive old fashioned train on closed off railway tracks. 90% of the doors are locked, the train is in amazing condition just some broken here and there. If you're in the area this is a must explor.
*************** From Blitzing, July, 2019 *******
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Wakefield Steam Train is an old heritage railway that ran tourist trains through the Gatineau Hills between Hull and Wakefield. It was pulled by a 1907 Swedish steam locomotive, E2 class number 909. The passenger cars were from the 1940s, also from Sweden. Each car in the train is named after a city in Quebec. It closed in 2011 due to a track bed washout, and unfortunately never reopened due to the costs.[/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The cars were purchased by Alain Boucher, who took one of the cars to Cantley, Quebec to be converted into an American-style diner, while the others were completely scrapped sometime in April 2019. The engine is still in storage as of June 2019, and is going to be moved to Dalton Ecological Park where it will be put on [/font]display[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] as part of a replica of the early-1900s Templeton train station.[/font]

Went back yesterday, train has alarm in one section, power is on and motion sensor are tracking. Alarm isn't armed. Still be cautious if exploring
This is NOT a train museum, rather the Hull station of the Wakefield Steam Train. This train used to carry tourists along the Gatineau River, until the tracks washed out in 2011, stranding the train in Hull. The locomotive has been taken somewhere, but the rail cars remain.

So sad to see how it looked when I went compared to how it was 2 years ago, and even more sad to know that it is now destroyed. Very unfortunate :(
