Port Of Montreal

Company History: Port of Montreal operates 60 miles of line around Montreal, Quebec’s port on the St. Lawrence River. The company was the result of the 1982 reorganization of the National Harbours Board into “Canada Ports Corporation.” Traffic is relatively heavy with six to seven trains per day entering or leaving the facility. In recent years, POM’s fleet of SW and MP series switchers have all been replaced with gensets and slugs.
