The two double-track mainlines are still there of course, but trees and cell towers have taken over the skyline. Here's an aerial view: https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.4312169,-73.8637713,172m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en-GB If you look carefully, you can still see MP 11 of the CP Vaudreuil Sub in both pictures: beside the green boxcars in the original, and just above the P42 in my photo from last Spring. At least the footbridge is still there, and serving its intended purpose (a viewing platform for trains!).
