I'm not sure if this link has been posted before, but in case it hasn't...

There's a collection of Montreal tramways pictures at this site:

http://davesrailpix.com/mtc/mtc.htm

Lots of historic Montreal street scenes, and some of the pictures are nicely annotated.

The same site also hosts a collection of historic Quebec railway pictures here:

Enjoy!

What a wonderful collection. Nice find and thanks for sharing.
Recently, I've been looking trough all my hard drive for an old collection of 1970s photos of Montreal. I can't give much details yet, but Nostra-Youpi is going to be really happy ( I hope )

Here's a few of my favorites from the pics you found:

In Saint-Lambert. For curious explorers, this building is still standing, it was the Waterman's pen factory. It used to be abandoned but was suposedly renovated recently (I can't confirm):

watermans is now condos, it was renovated about 2-3 years back. the southern counties rr used one side of the victoria bridge, the trams didnt run on the CN ROW.

the southern counties rr ran what were called interurbans. They sometimes pulled a box car or 2 behind these streetcars. they were the electric equivalent of a "doodlebug"

It's Atlas Asbestos Co, TaP. Here's a bit better look at it:



Next time you're at the book store, check out this book "Montreal Through Time" (or some such thing). It's in the touristy Montreal picture book section, and I believe it has Jacques Demers' name on it. In it is a 2-page panoramic spread taken from Silo #5 in the 30s that is just stunning.

I'm old, but I guess I'm not that old. My public transportation memories go as far back as when you could smoke in the back of the MUC buses. And I remember the blue Brisebois buses that used to service the Waste Island. Those suckers got you around about as fast as your feet did. Not that much has changed since the MUC instigated service 'round these parts

well metropolitain and provincial did chateauguay till 1981 and parts of the waste island until that time too, the MUC busses with no back doors were bought by the MPI to serve ste anne de bellvue, they were re painted for the MUC later on

ledifice de la banque provincial est bel et bien toujours la, sauf sa facade de la premiere etage a ete modifie beaucoup. Jai deja ete sur le toit de ce dernier (mon ami travailais dedans). La photo du woolworth sans date dois etre vers le debut des annees 80 avant quel soit demoli pour le place montreal trust. Les voitures sont des autos fin 70 et la pancarte MMMuffins la boite a mail est dans ceux qui ont commencer a etre remplacer a partir de 1984. les lampadaires aussi ont ete remplacer en 1985 avec les tire bouchons. moi je fais un educated guess et je le date entre 1980 et 1982.

Pour celui du poste de police, il y a des chevrolet malibu, la derniere annee de manufacture de ce vehicule etait 1983, le plymouth caravelle sur st mathieu peut etre un vehicule plus neuf. cette photo est au plus vieux 1977 et plus neuf 1985. Le clsc sur le coin nest pas construit encore et il y a des vielles pancarte darret dautobus.

Un petit detail, la station 25 dans le temps etait une des postes les plus occuper. Elle surveillais la rue crescent et certains des clients tres connue de winnies ont deja passe la nuit dans ses cellules

Excellent travail CJB
