Encyclopedia
Dalhousie Station is a former railway station in Montreal
. Built in 1884, it still stands at the corner of Rue Notre-Dame Est and Rue Berri in east end Montreal. Although the terminal location was purchased by the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, and Occidental Railway, all building was done by the Canadian-Pacific Railway after purchase in 1882; it became their original eastern terminus. It is architecturally notable for the combination of stone and brick used to build it, as well as its high windows.
The first non-stop transcontinental train left Dalhousie Station bound for Port Moody on June 28, 1886 at 8:00 p.m.
Dalhousie Station was superseded on the transcontinental route by Windsor Station
in February 1889, which had a more convenient location in the west side of town, and replaced by the grander Viger Station
, a block to the north, in 1898
