Comments on: Pity it is a rainy afternoon, but still nice to catch CP 4070 with commuter bi-levels heading eastward toward Montreal. I’m wondering when the nice old Vaudreuil-Dorion station lost it’s life. Anyone?

Thanks. A lot better to be viewing this on a screen than standing out there like a nut with a camera.

I perhaps missed that testing; but did see the C&NW bi-level runs, also mid-70s; perhaps we are referring to the same.

Nice! And a train of those Vickers built Gallery Coaches were tested by GO Transit in the mid seventies (1974ish) prior to GO ordering the H-S double deck cars that we all now know.

Hey Arnold, I was in the office that day at CN Headquarters in downtown Montreal. You should have stopped in for a visit!

Great photo, rain and all. The best stuff always shows up in the 4ain anyways, or so it seems!

I would guess this old station came down mid to late 80s. Seems to me that most structures on this line were demolished around that time, with installation of bewer infrastructure as the commuter service was planned to grow.

Just a guesstimate going off of memory, course the old noggin isnt remembering as sharply as it once used to lol
