Posted by SPEK Photo 5/16/2006 5:35 AM | remove   What it the exact reason for building a train tunnell right there? Posted by Charlie_Dunver 5/16/2006 8:57 AM | remove   it s an aesthetic consideration as much as anything. Probably in the spirit of the times they thought " and all held up by a railway tunnel, cool!" Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 5/16/2006 12:24 PM | remove   i think the fact 3 collumns for the highway would have landed square in the path of trains, remember at one time 4 tracks went through the tunnel Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 5/16/2006 12:25 PM | remove   its the same reason you have that 90 degree turn on the 13 south, not to displace the railways Posted by Charlie_Dunver 5/17/2006 3:41 AM | remove   logistical considerations as well of course. The railroad changed the world in ways we will never see again/ Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 5/17/2006 12:53 PM | remove   agreed, the railroads at thier time of construction dominated like highways today, its interesting to look at aerial photos and see the shapes of buildings that were built to accomodate the railways, look at the throat of the old bonaventure station yard (lionel groulx metro) all the buildings funnel towards the turcot yard Posted by Charlie_Dunver 5/17/2006 5:48 PM | remove   For sure--- and all the viaducts and overpasses around the city prioritized train traffic. We still see trains getting the right of way. Of course they would never get anywhere if they had to wait for cars LOL Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 5/17/2006 6:15 PM | remove   yeah and look around that home depot off the cp tracks its parking lot is shaped for the railine that used to pass there1 Posted by Charlie_Dunver 5/18/2006 1:17 AM | remove   How the hell can they just dismantle all that history? Turcot ( and Point shops and...) is like a metaphor for the whole country I suppose , just moving forward blindly, not knowing where yer going and barely knowing where ya've been! Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 5/18/2006 3:58 AM | remove   well we have a short sighted approach to history in quebec, revisionist too Posted by SPEK Photo 6/1/2006 1:36 AM | remove   thank you gentlemen.
