A vendor on Ebay recently posted these outstanding photos of Montreal & Southern Counties trolleys. We encourage people to reward his work by purchasing them.
Please feel free to provide more info in the comments and I will add it.
The top photo is shows how Montreal streetcar, road and the Canadian National Railway tracks met at the Victoria Bridge, which was still a toll bridge in 1954.
The MSC was on the downstream side and there was a passing track at each end. The car shown is heading towards the bridge and St Lambert. Bridge Street is to the right, and both lanes of traffic were on the upstream side.There was a walkway on downstream side of Bridge and the woman shown may have walked over, or may has just descended from the streetcar, which is going to the terminus at the bottom of McGill.
The catenary (a U-shaped curved wire) for electric locomotives from Central Station to PSC Shops and coach yard sits out of frame to the right. It's still there today at the entry to the Victoria Bridge. The locomotive shown is a Montreal Locomotive Works diesel. - description by Coolopolis reader M.P. & I
