    Incredible. A rare picture in so many ways.

    Someone needs to time machine this one.

    @Jakob, this now crosses at grade. Here’s a shot looking in a different direction. That line with the AMT train on it is now an REM line (not open yet). Up above is the CN St-Laurent Sub.

    Note the tell tails over the track of the St. Laurent Sub, not for an overhead bridge, but for the overhead wire for the commuter MU cars and electric motors to Cartierville and St Eustache, most unique.
