Description
Caption reads: LaSalle Gas and Coke Co. plant of Montreal Light, Heat and Power Consolidated on the Lachine Canal in 1930. This plant produced gas and all its byproducts, but it also produced electricity as the thermal station (lower left) indicates. This photograph shows the scale of the last of the four gas plants that went into production alongshore. Today, nothing remains of this plant except for the conveyor tower used to unload the boats.

  Cant say what year those two tanks went down but I remember seeing them in the late 60's. You could see them from a lot of places back then too.

  The image should be flipped horizontally, it is a mirror image what it really was. And to contribute to the 2007 discussion, the tanks were still visible on 1975 aerial photographs.
