A friend of mine tells me that she has seen signs for some sort of train museum that would be located east of Dickson with an entance from the north located south of Hochelaga. I do believe that Bombardier has some sort of works in that area.

Even though I live in Montreal, I've never hear any other mention of this. Anyone know more?

In est of Montreal on Dickson street,that's only the old MLW building emplacement,but the fire get over it few years ago.
but in the old Angus shops Building,in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve area,just have to go inside of the Loblaws and you can see the old train turntable in the store,but the owner do not like when we take picture of it,so we have to be discret..

On East of Montreal,an old tank car is preserved there,at GATX Rail Canada 9300 Maurice Duplessis boulevard..
