Around Old CN Shops and Train Yard Montreal 2009 Original Boucrate/Bonnaix Impro electronica 1990

A walk around parts of the old shops and CN trainwards..A bit like a Cat..Curious but careful;-)
A place where there is so much politics about its future you can hear behind doors hand shakes lol!
I laugh but that ain't funny;-)
I believe the music will bring out a bit of the nostalgia of this place that has so much history that you can still smell the sweat of underpaid Irish and french-canadian building it in the mid 19een century, for their dear old Victoria gal..And working till later on, in not much better conditions in that industrial early 20th century Pointe-Saint-Charles. Enough politic, enjoy...;-)

I should have said wondering up the steps to the tracks I like fogs too much! Something very magical about it gets me wandering into a wonderful space. If it weren't for the birds flitting around I wouldn't be real! and probably get hit by a train!! Thank the trains n the grain they haul n the birds they attract n the beautiful music you made Next batch of paintings is based on the Aurora borealis well that says it all lol! Better keep me on a leash, next time we go for a walk...

Hi goosevillage;-)

Love the info you are sharing about Victoriatown. Strange I went closer to Victoria Bridge two days ago, for some more camera shots around. I think there's a big Monument (enormous rock) on between the two ways lanes of Bridge street.. (will go check outside of rush hour, I move by walking or bicycle) . But indeed we cannot see that there was people living there before. Very sad.

Hey merci, thank you very much!

Thanks for posting this video. I particularly loved the shots taken around Bridge Street. I grew up there, in Victoriatown. Drapeau demolished Victoriatown in 1964, displacing 300 families Just after the war, the people erected a monument with the names of 16 people from there who died in the war. It was located on the former Canada Packers property, on the NE corner, just inside the fence. That was the only thing left to show that Victoriatown ever existed, and the city got rid of even that.
