Considering the fact that the village of Lac-Édouard was away from main roads, the railway artery, opened in 1885, was a key to economic development in the region.[2] This railway, linking Montreal to Chambord, via Junction Garneau, greatly favored forestry, sanatorium (since 1904) and tourist activities. Lac-Édouard railroad station was the key point of transit of passengers and goods before the construction of roads.[3]
