    Hi!

    Does anyone know much about CN's Turcot Yards in Montreal?

    I am interested in the history of the site itself, what the working conditions were like, etc. etc.

    Thanks in advance,

    Charlie,

    Try contacting The TRAQ Group (Transportation by Rail across Quebec).

    http://www.groupetraq.com/index_e.html

    In one if their publications they had an article called "The Turcot Story".

    -------

    This website has a short history of the yard with pictures and panoramas -
