Montreal And Southern Counties Railway
The Montreal and Southern Counties Railway Company (M&SCRC) was an interurban streetcar line that ran between Montreal and Granby until 1956. A second branch served the city of Longueuil.
Operated by the Canadian National Railway (CN), the M&SCRC had the mandate to run trams and Steam locomotives (and Diesel locomotives) on the same track (outside urban areas).

Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or railway:
“No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
