Tram on Bernard Street

The endless work going on Bernard Street can sometimes surprise us. This week, workers were busy removing pieces of steel they were cut with a torch. It is indeed old streetcar tracks using public once the lines 96 and 97 and between DuParc Avenue Outremont. Line 96 ends at Craig Terminus (where is located the Palais des Congres de Montreal) and line 97 branched off westward to Atwater.

Here is an excerpt from an article on page STM-INFO entitled "The service in Outremont," published in the newspaper Metro in 2003:
"A true service lives so the day in 1905, but for a surprising reason, having been requested by the rich burghers of Sherbrooke Street and Old Montreal ... to go golfing! The Montreal Street Railway therefore created a course, the famous "29 - Outremont, since the Rue de la Commune, to the intersection Côte-Sainte-Catherine - Bellingham, at the entrance of the first golf course in urban areas at the time, eliminating and all the disadvantages mentioned above.

The development of the city to North imposed the addition of a second term in 1916. Originally christened "Outremont North", he became the "96 - Van Horne - Champ de Mars" in 1921, since the latter place until the intersection of Van Horne and Hartland, borrowing the streets Bernard, Outremont Van Horne, with an additional stop at Sainte-Madeleine on Sunday for a congregation.
