 | Our train has just passed through the CPR Dorval station on the Montreal- Toronto mainline, about 1972. Dorval is situated in what is called Montreal’s “West Island” near Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. While a Centralized Traffic Control tower can be seen in the background, the old semaphore signal is still attached to the station. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway _semaphore signal The CN Montreal-Toronto mainline ran parallel to the CPR at this point and its semaphore can be seen on the right, through the poles. When VIA took over the Montreal-Toronto route, it used the CN tracks, not this one. |

 | The former CPR station at Bordeaux in northeast Montreal, which served for 70 years or so in commuter service, on the Montreal-Ottawa via North Shore (of the Ottawa River); then Montreal-Mont Laurier (a skiing and cottage area in the Laurentians about a 3-hour drive north of Montreal). Rail Diesel Cars were assigned to these runs from about 1950 to abandonment around 1979, when VIA took over all CPR passenger service. This photo was taken around 1980, after the CPR station had been removed. Bordeaux never received much passenger traffic. Service on this line actually started in 1882 and the tracks are still in use by CPR and the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT; English: Metropolitan Transportation Agency), which operates a daily commuter service from a nearby replacement station, now called Bois de Boulogne on the Blainville-St Jerome line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bois-de- Boulogne_(AMT) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blainville %E2%80%93Saint-J%C3%A9r% C3%B4me_Line_(AMT) |

 | A small pocket timetable (4 x 6 ½ inches) from VIA Rail, valid October 31, 1976 � April 23, 1977 identified trains as VIA CP in red or VIA CN in blue, before everything was finally absorbed and a few routes eliminated; one of which was the Montreal – Mont Laurier, having served skiers and summer vacationers for 90 years. Bordeaux shown here is the 5th station, served passengers in northeast Montreal, while Westmount, Montreal West and Park Avenue (also called Jean Talon) catered to those more the west. 50 years ago the countryside became mostly farmland and low rolling hills after leaving Bordeaux. Today, a lot of Laval (St-Martin Jct on the timetable) a few miles north is fairly well built-up but Shawbridge is still the start of “cottage country” and Mont Tremblant is a renowned centre for winter sports. |

.jpg) | The Canadian Pacific Railway route of “Montreal-Ottawa via North Shore” had fairly been in place since the early 1800s, first with steam and diesels, then with self-propelled Rail Diesel Cars, till VIA ended the service about 70 years later. Bordeaux was then a key station out of north-end Montreal at Mileage 15.5, after trains leaving Windsor Station, made a large semi-circle through Westmount and Montreal West before proceeding northbound. CN Meanwhile with its electric traction had cut under Mount Royal to reach an area about a mile away from Bordeaux The station served commuters and vacationers escaping to the Laurentians, particularly on ski trains. After the 1960s, Bordeaux started to be less and less used and was removed from the location shown above and not replaced when commuter rail took the same track. This schedule from a CP timetable valid from October 26, 1975 to April 24, 1976 |

 | The CPR St-Jovite Station in the Laurentians, north of Montreal, looks abandoned in this view from an old 1970s postcard, judging by the semaphores, now removed. St-Jovite, which has now merged with the village of Mt-Tremblant, is situated about 130 km (± 80 miles)north of Montreal. The first train arrived at St-Jovite in 1893 after the CPR purchased the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway (QMO&O) and extended the line. First a colonization railway, the line started to serve skiers when Herman Smith Johanssen (aka “Jack Rabbit”) introduced cross-country skiing between railway stations. For many years thereafter, “Le P’tit train du Nord” (loose translation � The little train to the North Country) carried skiers in winter and cottagers in summer, first by steam than by RDC. Somewhere on this page is a CPR timetable for the Montréal-Mont- Laurier train; eventually a Dayliner Rail Diesel Car from Montreal city centre. St-Jovite was a major stop. CPR abandoned the line in 1981, due to the fact that people would now rather drive to the area In 1990, the rails were removed and turned into a hiking trail, while the station was purchased and transported to a nearby location, then completely spruced up and turned into an Italian restaurant with a railway theme. View photos of the refurbished station at http://www.restaurantantipasto.com/en/. One of the views shows the station in the early 1900s. |

 | Situated off the Island of Montreal and about 16 miles in straight line northwest or about a half-hour driving distance from downtown Montreal, the old station at Ste-Thérèse QC was built around 1900, to serve CP freight and passengers on the former Montreal-Ottawa and Montreal-Mont Laurier using steam first and then diesels for freight and RDCs for passengers. The station was finally by CP for lack of freight traffic and VIA didn’t feel that the passenger loads would be worthwhile as it reorganized its commuter services. In former days, Ste-Thérèse served light industry, such as a leading piano factory (Lesage); the largest industrial snowblower maker in the world (Sicard) and it also had the only auto assembly plant outside Ontario, before it too closed its doors. Farmers, ski enthusiasts and vacationers also patronized the line a great deal until just after WWII when private vehicles became the prime mode of travel between Montreal and the Laurentians or Montreal and the Gatineau Hills. Area commuters working downtown Montreal were almost non-existent. In his view dated late 1990s, an early AMT push-pull operation now serves the Ste-Thérèse on the Montreal-St. Jérôme line and the schedule is not yet quite firm. Later, an all-weather platform, situated a few yards from the other end of the train will be constructed on both sides of the track and commuter service will become frequent and regular. The old station sign, just left of the telephone booth has yet to be removed. |

 | Rather than destroy the building after decommissioning by the CPR, it was recycled into a relay station for the Rogers Communications since a tower already stood right alongside the station. This view shows the back of the station and part of the new Agence Métropolitaine deTransport or AMT (in English, the “Metropolitan transportation agency”) platform across the tracks, for inbound trains into Montreal. AMT is an umbrella organization that coordinates commuter rail servicesin the Greater Montreal area. Service is frequent and by general opinion, extremely punctual.

 | Windsor Station/Gare Windsor, looking north on a very muddy Windsor St., corner of St-Antoine in 1904. Windsor Street south of Dorchester (now René Levesque Blvd) was renamed Peel Street/Rue Peel in 1968. The granite building was not only the Montreal terminusfor the Canadian Pacific Railway but also their Canadian headquarters, till then named CP moved its entire operation to Calgary in 1996 and changed its name back to Canadian Pacific Railway. Behind the early Montreal Tramways streetcar, we see a faint outline of the elegant Le Windsor, then and now, a historical nine-story structure, offering palatial splendor with a gold-embossed lobby, six restaurants, two ballrooms, concert hall and 382 luxurious guest-rooms http://lewindsormontreal.com/ . View an old-time picture at: http://www.imtl.org/montreal/building/Hotel- Windsor.php Today, Windsor Station is not connected to any track and has been developed into a hotel and retail complex, with access the Lucien-L’Allier metro (subway) station which is below the station building and a connection to the Bell Centre, home of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_Station_ (Montreal) |

 | A classic shot of the CPR Windsor Station/Gare Windsor in Montreal; looking southwest from Peel Street, late 1970s. The main entrance has been under the wide canopy since 1889 (close-up shown elsewhere on this page) but there was a smaller entrance down the hill (also shown on this page) at corner rue St-Antoine & Peel. Passengers then proceeded to the concourse one floor up, by elevator. In its last days, Windsor Station was the terminus for commuter trains to the West Island but they now leave from Gare Centrale/Central Station, about one block east, as does VIA Rail. In 1996, all train service ceased and tracks were removed, as the CPR moved its headquarters from Windsor Station to Calgary. The building was then decommissioned and repurposed into an office building and also gives access to the Lucien-L’Allier metro (subway) station which is below the station building and Le Centre Bell next door, home of the Montréal Canadiens hockey team. |

 | Canadian Pacific, Windsor Station, Montreal This picture was taken between 1977 and 1985 Windsor Station (French: Gare Windsor) is a former railway station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, formerly serving as the city’s Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Station. It also served as the headquarters of CPR from 1889 to 1996 |

 | Part of the canopy is still visible late summer 1970s showing of a CPR commuter waiting to depart for the West Island. Massey was boarding an RDC on an adjacent platform. In former days, it’s presumed that trains came under the canopy, right up to the concourse. Nothing is left of either the canopy or the tracks today. The train was accessed through doors shown in the concourse picture. On March 17, 1909, CPR locomotive No 2102 jumped the stop on Track 7 and ran into the concourse. There were 6 fatalities. It is probably one of the reasons why no more trains came under the canopy. |

 | Looking south in the CPR Windsor Station/Gare Windsor concourse, 1975-1980. Today, a lot has been modified as the station has changed role. To the left was the men’s washroom and further up the ticket office and waiting room. Still further up was a newsstand and at the very back, the very large statue “Angel of Victory”, a war memorial in Windsor Station to the employees of Canadian Pacific Railways who perished in the First World War. Access to the platforms was through the doors on the right, manned by the conductor for that train. As evidenced by the daylight coming through, the original canopy which stood over the platforms had already been removed when this picture was taken. |

 | Except for the building itself opened in 1943, all train boarding is now underground at the CN Gare Centrale/Central Station in downtown Montreal, seen here during the c. 1975 festive season The station is connected to several other buildings, including a leading hotel. It also gives access to the Bonaventure Métro (which in turns connects to well over a hundred underground shops and most areas of the city), as well as Amtrak, VIA Rail and AMT. |

 | Another view of the Montreal CN Central Station/Gare Centrale concourse, early 80s. Fairly visible are the track indicators (17, 18) made of solid brass. When ready the indicator was raised and a roll sign was inserted inside by the conductor or trainman. Passengers then passed through brass a waist-high gate before descending to the platform after a ticket check by the conductor and/or trainman. The concourse is still very much in daily use.

 | A CN Deux-Montagnes line commuter train, is ready to depart below the Montreal Central S tation/Gare Centrale concourse around 1975 and will shortly pass through the electrified Mount Royal Tunnel. In use since during WWII, the boarding platform was always very Spartan with low ceiling and harsh lighting. While this model of railcar long gone (some to museums and short line railways or scrap), the platform is still in use daily. The trailers shown here do not have a pantograph but there is an an Electric Multiple Unit (CN 6730-6739), is at each end, providing traction, light and heat during the trip from the overhead wire through a pantograph. The commuter train sets were never uncoupled, except for maintenance. Frequent departures were on the schedule. MU motors are covered on my electric railway page http://yourrailwaypictures.com/OldDiesels /index-electric.html |

 | CPR Station, Quebec City It now serves as the VIA Rail Station. It was popularly referred to as Palais Station; in timetables it was usually referred to as Union Station(because of being used shortly after opening by GTR, NTR, Quebec Central trains as well as the CPR).

 | Another street view of the Gare du Palais; at 450 rue de la Gare du Palais in the lower part (Basse Ville) of Quebec City, taken in the early 70s. At that time, the ornate park in front of the station had yet to be built. Built in 1915 by the CPR, the station is similar in design to the Fairmount “Le Château Frontenac”, in the upper part of the city (Haute Ville). The station continues to be used daily for VIA Rail “corridor” trips to Montreal via Drummondville and also serves as a bus depot for a local company. The structure to the right at #330 is at present a federal government building (HRDC). This picture was taken in the late 1970’s |

  | The CN/VIA station in downtown Chicoutimi, now called Saguenay. The station agent was located on the second floor at street level and passengers then had to proceed downstairs to board the train. Chicoutimi, about 140 miles north of Quebec City, was “end of track” for CN and then VIA until the late 1980s. In order to turn the motive power around, (usually a single passenger diesel), an air operated turntable pit (shown on my diesel page),was situated within the station area. The original dockside station started to be used around 1893 when Chicoutimi was the hub for all activity within the region. After a few minor modifications, the present building, now mostly lacking passengers and freight closed around 1987, when VIA transferred end-of-rail to Jonquière, a few miles up the line. After closure, the station was turned into a multi-service building, all track removed and the area along the river, turned into large green space. The Saguenay River on the left, is a deep water fjord, regularly hosting large cruise ships during the summer. They turn around at La Baie (formerly Port Alfred), a few miles further. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Baie,_ Quebec, which is also the terminus where Rio Tinto (formerly Alcan) gets bauxite ore gets unloaded from ocean vessels and transported by the Roberval Saguenay Railway to become aluminum. RS operates about 5 miles north of downtown Chicoutimi.

After it was vacated by VIA, the building was greatly expandedinto a multi-function building. The portion on the left side is the original station, the rest is an add-on.
