The Montreal Central Station is located under the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, near Bonaventure Metro or McGill Metro. The Medicine Hat Times quoted on June 24, 1886, "On Monday next the first through train will leave Montreal on the east bound for Vancouver on the west coast. The unity of the Dominion, so ardently desired by every true-blooded Canadian, is now secured by the strong embrace of the iron bands ... The vast extent of territory reserved alone for the buffalo and Indians has been opened up and made accessible to the settler. What was considered unfit for agriculture has been shown to be excellent soil ... Attention has been directed to the possibility of settlement for the thrifty poor of the citrus of European nations, and the tide now is in favor of the Northwest. All this is due to the construction of the CPR."
