  Windsor Station
At the time of its completion in 1914, the impressive 15-storey tower was the highest commercial landmark on Montreal's skyline and the spectacular steel-arches in the passenger concourse supported the largest glass-roof structure in Canada.
In 1954, the last major addition to Windsor Station was completed with the construction of a contemporary-styled structure, along St. Antoine Street, intended to house the Company's accounting departments.
In 1990, Windsor Station was named the first heritage railway station in Canada, the very first day a law was enacted, to recognize and protect railway stations.

 Lucien-L'Allier (AMT) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This station is in turn named for rue Lucien-L'Allier, the original name of which, rue de l'Aqueduc, was changed in order to commemorate Lucien L'Allier, chief engineer for the initial network of the Montreal metro and for the construction of Saint Helen's Island and Ile Notre-Dame for Expo 67.
Originally, the terminus of the commuter rail line was the monumental Windsor Station (Gare Windsor), which was also the headquarters of Canadian Pacific Railway until it moved to Calgary in 1996.
Originally called Terminus Windsor, this new terminal was renamed Gare Lucien-L'Allier to reduce confusion with the original Windsor Station, which still exists but is no longer a train station.

AMT commuter trains used to use Windsor until the new Lucien l'Allier station was built.
Gare Windsor (or Windsor Station for the anglophiles) hasn't seen passenger trains in over ten years when the terminus was moved a few blocks west from Rue Peel (Peel St) to a spartan facility at Rue de la Montagne (Mountain St) to make room for the new Montréal Forum (Centre Molson, later Centre Bell).
The relocated terminus was still referred to as Gare Windsor for quite a while until being renamed Gare Lucien L'Allier for the nearby Métro (subway) station.

 THE MONTREAL HUB
The "railway station district," both an onlooker and a player in the creation of the new downtown to the north of the historic city centre, with its two stations and their respective urban environments, is surprisingly successful at combining what one would expect to be the conflicting Victorian and modern worlds.
With the construction of Windsor Station, at the close of the 19th century, the city's transportation infrastructures and business centre began shifting to the more affluent upper town.
Before that time, all the major facilities of this kind had been located around the historic city centre, in the lower town.
