Tram in front of Montreal Street Railway Company & Bank of Montreal | Montreal In The Time Of Tramways
Historic views of Montreal’s trams in the early 20th century (8/12)
I learned from Tom Grumley’s A Retrospective History of Montreal Streetcars that the M.S.R. was first established in 1861, though at that time the streetcars were horse-drawn rather than electrified. Electrification of the system began in 1892 and Montreal’s tramway system kept expanding well into the 1930s.

This is another view of St-Jacques Street in the area of Monteal’s main Post Office.
St-Jacques – originally known as St.James – is in the heart of Montreal’s traditional financial district.
Will we soon be seeing trams along historic St-Jacques Street again?

ABOUT ME
I’m Evelyn Yvonne Theriault, a teacher who lives near Montreal, Quebec. I belong to a wonderful family so I’ve combined my two loves into one hobby – family history & genealogy. This site has two main purposes. The first is to share the Canadian Family Vintage Postcard Collection and to encourage the use of postcards by family historians and genealogists through activities such as the online magazine – A Festival of Postcards. The second is to share my personal genealogy & family history information and to help others who are researching Acadians & French Canadians of Quebec and New Brunswick.
