Did B&M ever use Windsor Station Montreal with their own equipment at any time ?

Yes, the Boston-Montreal through trains via the B&M-CP route used equipment from both railroads.

Adding to Tom's reply: The daytime B&M-CP "Alouette", which operated via Woodsville, NH until 1954 used pooled power - B&M E-7s and CP E-8s. B&M "American Flyer" coaches were common. When the Woodsville - Plymouth line was abandoned, the train was rerouted via While River Junction and converted to RDCs, also pooled between B&M and CP equipment. The overnight "Redwing", which operated via White River Jct until 1959 seemed to feature only CP sleepers in the streamline era, but coaches came from both roads.
