St. Lambert yards.—The work on the extension of the yards at St. Lambert, near Montréal, which has been in progress for about three years, is reported completed. The yard is auxiliary to that at Point St. Charles, but is, at the same time, self-contained and distinct. There are included in the general scheme a new locomotive house with 18 stalls; storage tracks which proceed as far as St. Hubert, a distance of six miles, east and west receiving and distributing tracks, electric interlocking devices, operative over the whole yard, block signals, semaphores—a most complex network of trackage and dovetailing lines crisscrossing over a wide area; and a railway Y.M.C.A. The trackage can be extended beyond St. Hubert should the demand arise for increased accommodation. The total cost of the work is said to have been $1,000,000.
