L'Histoire des Tramways de Montreal

Montreal's tramway had an illustrious history that ended, as many did, in the 1950s. But today, are memories all that's left? Are we lucky enough to see the rails again on Montreal streets? I know that rail and transit enthusiasts are a hard bunch to fill. I hope they'll watch this video with a critical eye... but not too critical. #Montreal #history Retrouver ProposMontreal sur le Web : Proposmontreal : http://proposmontreal.com Instagram :   / proposmontreal   Facebook :   / proposmontreal   Fils de discussion : https://www.threads.net/proposmontreal Twitter :   / proposmontreal   To support us: Patreon (now 11 subscribers) :   / proposmontreal   PayPal tip: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_...
