Great photo, thanks for posting.

I've added a timetable covering the time period of when your photo was taken.  Thanks for adding the time which enabled me to ID the train number. (No.930)  You will also note the railway direction is south even thought the train is physically head in an eastward direction.  The location is Monkland (6.6 miles from downtown Montreal) which is on the north-western end of the island however it is not Montreal West.  Montreal West is a stop on the CPR line, south of the CN line and 4.6 miles from downtown Montreal.  Hope you don't mind my clarification.

Wow....

Thanks for posting.

I've seen so many shots of these coming out of the tunnel. Thank you for this new angle, much more exciting.
