Montreal??
Author: MartyBernard

Did Roger Puta take these two slides in Montreal's Central Station? He took both in October 1971. What is the first car behind the Geep in the first photo?


Thanks,
Marty Bernard

That is a steam generator car behind the loco. The advertisement with the big key at the the end of the concourse was the emblem of CN Hotels. The Queen Elizabeth Hotel, attached to the station, was a CN hotel until they were all sold to CP.

The high platform is a giveaway, back then (even now I believe) Central Station was/is the only major terminal in Canada with high platforms.
