Northeast from the corner of St. James West and Little Craig. Little Craig was a short one-block diagonal street connecting St. James with Craig. Until about 1953 it had streetcar tracks. The street itself eventually disappeared as University was extended southward. The westbound streetcar in the photo was one of the ones bought second hand from the U.S. by the Montreal Tramways Company to augment their fleet during the Second World War. The cars were known for having leather upholstered seats instead of the usual rattan seats in Montreal streetcars.
