"The Wellington control tower was shut down in 2000 after 57 years of service, its control panel was saved by Exporail and mounted on a display this year for all to see. The single console used to control 57 switches, 64 cross-overs and 197 signals spread out 10 miles around the Montreal region."

A moins d'avoir une échelle je ne vois pas trop comment entré par le deuxième.... De toute façon la place est vide, y'a presque plus rien de beau dans ce bloc de béton.

I suspect they stopped using it before 2000, but around 2000 there was still power etc...

i have to second you on that one, exporail, like a lot of train museums has a few too many static displays (understandably due to lack of funds) but they do a great job. there are a lot of museums that envy them, sadly i have not been since the construction of the new paviliion. last time i was there it was still the 2 barns. i will have to go!

| | | | well they repainted it from what I can see
it appears they used a pine green over a more john deer type of green
And as you can see they really polished her up quite well.. some of the dings could have been hammered out a bit more I think but who knows...
I had to look up these before pics to compare.. because last time I saw it I never thought it would be possible to have it the way it is today all clean like that...

| | | | Ben la je sais pas pour toi mais je sais que j’aurais hautement préféré voir cet endroit abandonné, mais intact. Comme le premier qui y est entré. Imagine les photos que ca aurrait pu donner. Asteur cest vide et completement démoli/vandalisé, c'est juste un bloc de béton poche comme dit Ratsters. L'extérieur est rendu plus photogénique que l'intérieur..

| | | | oh by the way I linked those pics from the DB.. they are not mine..
I don't really take many pics, I record sounds while exploring as a select few members here may know. I often use portable field digital recording devices, and sometimes I still use low quality cassette recorders.
| Hey mewthree nice pics! must have been a while since you went cause two-three years ago when I was there with vince148, no sign of the control panel!! |
yeah it has been a good while since I have been there... but I thought the damage was beyond repair last time I actually saw the console in person...
