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 vintage postcard from my Ste-Catherine St. collection. It shows Montreal’s core shopping district (with trams, of course) at the turn of the twentieth century.

This is an early 1920s view of a tram on St. Catherine St. near the La Presse Building in Montreal’s east end. Check out the signs and you’ll see the La Presse slogan – “L’Organe des Canadiens-Francais” – and their circulation at the time – 100,000 readers.
