QUE27-98.gsb
Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD27 (code 4267) and NAD83(CSRS98) (code 4140) have longitudes positive east. Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD27 to WGS 84 - see code 1692. Geodetic Service of Quebec. Contact

Engineering survey, topographic mapping.
In use until 1979 when replaced by ATS77 / NB Stereographic (CRS code 2200).
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: northing, easting (N,E). Orientations: north, east. UoM: ft.
