Advance notice: Holiday Train
I was looking back through old posts and was reminded that a regular reader had asked to be told about the Holiday Train. It will be visiting Montreal on November 19 this year.
The UN site says November 19 is World Toilet Day but I doubt this is the holiday the train will be celebrating.
It’s also International Men’s Day.
Heres another report on the Holiday Train listing other dates as mentioned below by Nicholas.

I thought every day was international men’s day.

Echoes of my mother saying “Every day is children’s day!”

Smash Mouth is playing, at Montreal West then Beaconsfield. The other holiday train will be at Kahnawake, Sainte-Catherine and Delson the 24th, with a different musical lineup.

That may have been me who asked, thanks Kate! I might actually be in town this time around and will finally get to see it!

I’d like to give a shout out to all the domestic men as well.

I notice the Montreal West station is given two different street addresses on the CKAC page: chemin Broughton and Harley Avenue

On Google Maps, it seems they are both the same street, but they change name just about where the station is. Might be a question of Montreal West giving the street a different name at the border.

@Kate You are correct.
It’s a street of many names: Harley (in Montreal), Broughton Road (in Montreal West), and rue des Erables (when it reaches Devil’s Hill – now Lachine, used to be Ville St Pierre).
