Dorval Memories 1975-1991

Time for another dip into the video vault, this time we visit a favorite Candian railfan spot, Dorval, which is just west of Montreal, Quebec adjacent to the Montreal International airport. It is a commuter stop as well as a stop for main line passenger trains so patrons can have direct access to the airport. The main lines of CP and CN parallel each other here and at the times of these filmings, both sides of the track were accessible. Since then new ramps to access the airport have added large overhead bridges which limit sight lines and cut off access on the south side. The variety of equipment and train types passing here has varied over the years with the creation of VIA and the Montreal commuter agency, but it never failed to entertain and was always busy.
