Isn’t that Saint-Antoine? And where’s the expressway?
It is Saint Antoine, not Rene Levesque but nice picture!
sorry for the wholey inaccurate photo description. Yes, this is Saint-Antoine, and the train tracks into Bonaventure station can be seen across the bottom of the picture.
Actually, it’s Saint-Jacques. That ramp to the loading bay for Place Bonaventure ends (or goes under cover) before Saint-Antoine, plus that’s the Planetarium to the left of the photo.
Kevin is right. It is Saint-Jacques.
Le grand-angle donne l’impression que la photo a été prise de beaucoup plus haut…

Les voies vont vers la Gare Centrale, qui a ouvert en 1944.
La gare Bonaventure (sur le côté ouest de la rue Peel entre St-Jacques et Notre-Dame, en face du Planétarium) a brûlé en 1948, et son successeur, l’ancien édifice des messageries du CN a été démoli 60 ans plus tard.
