There’s a bit of a legend in Montreal involving a locomotive sitting somewhere underneath the former Turcot Yards. While I’ve always liked the idea of an old train sitting around somewhere underground, I had my doubts that it could still be there. This snippet from a 1937 copy of the Montreal Star helps clear things up, claiming that it was eventually recovered. No word as to whether or not the body of the boy who “suffocated in soft, slimy mud” was ever recovered, though so maybe that’s<\/em> still buried under there. Who knows?
