Montreals Windsor Station and the "New" Molson Station

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien-L%27Allier_%28AMT%29 is the new station

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_Station_%28Montreal%29 is the old station....

I took a STCUM (does anyone ever think about these acronyms? Like SEPTA) Commuter train in about 1994 from Windsor Station... I was amazed at its vastness and the fact that I was like the a very alone person taking the last passenger train from a old station. This is must have been what it must have been like to take a train from the old Grand Central in Chicago or the last Erie Laccawanna Train from Buffalo. There was like perhaps 12 people on the entire train out to the western part of the Montreal Islands Suburbs....I sad to hear that the station is no more and Canadian Pacific is no longer there.... as there archives library was there

IIRC, CP's transcontinental services were up and running decades before commuter ops.  -a.s.
