by Les for everyone
This is a very well put together ,fading from photo to photo collection of some really good old Montreal pictures,you can pause the video where you like to study the photo individually & see some of the things in the background ie: old buildings, cars trucks etc etc ....
in the third photo you can see a Molson delivery truck beside a streetcar...hahahaha very essential part of Montreal goods in those days...............................HF&RV

Les,
Too bad there are no commentaries to describee the scenes on the photos. In the 40s I used to work at the corner of St François Xavier and Notre Dame and used the Notre DAme Streetcar to Place D'Armes. On the night shift I would go to the Craig Street terminal where the streetcar would enter the building to turn around and practically touch the building as it turned.

I was just a kid in the fifties but the Craig street terminal always staid in my mind. If my young memory serves me well there was a tobacco shop or sandwich shop or something like that inside. I guess it was the fact that it was inside that struck me instead of the other places when we transferred outside.

Robert,
You are right, there was a restaurant inside the Craig terminus wich I also remember quite well.

I've added a few more shots of the Craig Street Terminus & relative pics,they can be seen in the 1st album on my site: http://lesf.multiply.com/ Look in the photo albums ,1st one..... Also if you use the 'Zoom In' feature while looking at the photo's individually rather than 'slide show' you will be able to really have a better look at the 'floorplan photo ' of the Craig ST Terminus: HF&RV
