We were driving west on Highway 138 in Quebec about a week ago, maybe
20 minutes east of Mont Sainte Anne, and saw something very odd -- a
convoy of 4 heavy haul trucks each carrying a brand-new (or newly
repainted), short hopper car with CN markings.

There's a rail line that goes as far as La Malbaie, and supposedly it
does have freight customers, but it's not used in the winter.  Aside from
that, is there any rail on the north shore of the St. Lawrence east of
Quebec City at all?

I'm at a bit of a loss where these could have been going, and why.

Anyone have any ideas?
