Station and hotel photographed in 1910

Lac-Édouard railway station is an unmanned Via Rail shelter (request stop) in the village of Lac-Édouard, Quebec, Canada.

Considering the fact that the village of Lake Edward was away from main roads, the railway artery was a key to economic development in the region. This railway, linking Montreal to Chambord, via Junction Garneau, greatly favored forestry, sanatorium (since 1904) and tourist activities. Lake Edward railroad station was the key point of transit of passengers and goods, before the construction of roads.
