G.T.R.—The new station at Point St. Charles, Montréal, will be on the south-west side of the subway, on the site of the old station. A wide platform reaching to Wellington St. will also be constructed. The plans are completed, and, it is said, the work will be started immediately.
The project to elevator the tracks between Bonaventure station, Montréal, and St. Henri, has been abandoned for the present, but the proposals for an exchange of property in Chaboillez Square for property owned by the city in Albert Square, in order to carry out certain improvements are still under discussion.
The only portion of the line between Montréal and Toronto not double-tracked is the 46.26 miles from Port Hope to Port Union. A section of this, from West Pickering to Port Union, seven miles, is to be double-tracked this year, the Co. doing the work direct, and not letting a contract. This is all that can be done this year owing to heavy traffic.
