C, the riding is known as Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount and its Member of Parliament is Liberal Marc Garneau. Provincially, Montreal West again shares a riding with Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, the riding is known as Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and its Member of National Assembly is Liberal Kathleen Weil. Montreal West is notable for having Quebecs highest rated Anglophone public high school and it also has two Anglophone elementary schools, Elizabeth Ballantyne Elementary School and Edinburgh Elementary School which offers French immersion. These schools are part of the English Montreal School Board, the town has a public childrens library located in Elizabeth Ballantyne school. A library for all age groups is located on Westminster Avenue, Montreal West is serviced by six Société de transport de Montréal bus lines. Each of these connects to a corresponding Montreal Metro station, the Montréal-Ouest Train Station also services the area. Trains that run through this station connect passengers to downtown Montreal on one end, bus routes servicing Montreal-West, Montreal West includes three medium-sized churches. One is United, one is Anglican, and the final is Presbyterian, the Montreal West United Church also rents space to a Pentecostal service. Canada Day is the largest community event of the year in Montreal West, residents organize a parade route that mainly runs down the main street of Westminster and ends at Strathern Park. Floats represented in the parade include organizations and clubs located in town, in some years, there have been water fights between sidelined residents and members of the parade. Water fights during these years have seen water balloons and super soaker water guns, organizers have tried to minimize these activities in recent years so as not to detract from the parade itself, with varying success. Following the parade, residents converge on Strathern Park for a giant picnic/BBQ, many childrens games and activities go on at the park, as well as in the nearby Percival park

Quebec
–
Quebec is the second-most populous province of Canada and the only one to have a predominantly French-speaking population, with French as the sole provincial official language. Quebec is Canadas largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division and it also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. Quebec is Canadas second-most populous province, after Ontario, most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. Approximately half of Quebec residents live in the Greater Montreal Area, the Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples. Even in central Quebec at comparatively southerly latitudes winters are severe in inland areas, Quebec independence debates have played a large role in the politics of the province. Parti Québécois governments held referendums on sovereignty in 1980 and 1995, in 2006, the House of Commons of Canada passed a symbolic motion recognizing the Québécois as a nation within a united Canada. These many industries have all contributed to helping Quebec become an economically influential province within Canada, early variations in the spelling of the name included Québecq and Kébec. French explorer Samuel de Champlain chose the name Québec in 1608 for the colonial outpost he would use as the seat for the French colony of New France. The province is sometimes referred to as La belle province, the Province of Quebec was founded in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 after the Treaty of Paris formally transferred the French colony of Canada to Britain after the Seven Years War. The proclamation restricted the province to an area along the banks of the Saint Lawrence River, the Treaty of Versailles ceded territories south of the Great Lakes to the United States. After the Constitutional Act of 1791, the territory was divided between Lower Canada and Upper Canada, with each being granted an elected legislative assembly, in 1840, these become Canada East and Canada West after the British Parliament unified Upper and Lower Canada into the Province of Canada. This territory was redivided into the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario at Confederation in 1867, each became one of the first four provinces. In 1898, the Canadian Parliament passed the first Quebec Boundary Extension Act that expanded the provincial boundaries northward to include the lands of the aboriginal peoples. This was followed by the addition of the District of Ungava through the Quebec Boundaries Extension Act of 1912 that added the northernmost lands of the Inuit to create the modern Province of Quebec. In 1927, the border between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador was established by the British Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Located in the part of Canada, and part of Central Canada. Its topography is very different from one region to another due to the composition of the ground, the climate. The Saint Lawrence Lowland and the Canadian Shield are the two main regions, and are radically different

Geographic coordinate system
–
A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system used in geography that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation, to specify a location on a two-dimensional map requires a map projection. The invention of a coordinate system is generally credited to Eratosthenes of Cyrene. Ptolemy credited him with the adoption of longitude and latitude. Ptolemys 2nd-century Geography used the prime meridian but measured latitude from the equator instead. Mathematical cartography resumed in Europe following Maximus Planudes recovery of Ptolemys text a little before 1300, in 1884, the United States hosted the International Meridian Conference, attended by representatives from twenty-five nations. Twenty-two of them agreed to adopt the longitude of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the Dominican Republic voted against the motion, while France and Brazil abstained. France adopted Greenwich Mean Time in place of local determinations by the Paris Observatory in 1911, the latitude of a point on Earths surface is the angle between the equatorial plane and the straight line that passes through that point and through the center of the Earth. Lines joining points of the same latitude trace circles on the surface of Earth called parallels, as they are parallel to the equator, the north pole is 90° N, the south pole is 90° S. The 0° parallel of latitude is designated the equator, the plane of all geographic coordinate systems. The equator divides the globe into Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the longitude of a point on Earths surface is the angle east or west of a reference meridian to another meridian that passes through that point. All meridians are halves of great ellipses, which converge at the north and south poles, the prime meridian determines the proper Eastern and Western Hemispheres, although maps often divide these hemispheres further west in order to keep the Old World on a single side. The antipodal meridian of Greenwich is both 180°W and 180°E, the combination of these two components specifies the position of any location on the surface of Earth, without consideration of altitude or depth. The grid formed by lines of latitude and longitude is known as a graticule, the origin/zero point of this system is located in the Gulf of Guinea about 625 km south of Tema, Ghana. To completely specify a location of a feature on, in, or above Earth. Earth is not a sphere, but a shape approximating a biaxial ellipsoid. It is nearly spherical, but has an equatorial bulge making the radius at the equator about 0. 3% larger than the radius measured through the poles, the shorter axis approximately coincides with the axis of rotation

Side platform
–
A side platform is a platform positioned to the side of a pair of tracks at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. Dual side platform stations, one for direction of travel, is the basic station design used for double-track railway lines. Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with a platform where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two platforms are connected by a footbridge running above and over the tracks. While a pair of platforms is often provided on a dual-track line. Where the station is close to a crossing the platforms may either be on the same side of the crossing road or alternatively may be staggered in one of two ways. With the near-side platforms configuration, each platform appears before the intersection, in some situations a single side platform can be served by multiple vehicles simultaneously with a scissors crossing provided to allow access mid-way along its length. Normally, the facilities of the station are located on the Up platform with the other platform accessed from a footbridge. However, in cases the stations main buildings are located on whichever side faces the town or village the station serves. Larger stations may have two platforms with several island platforms in between. Some are in a Spanish solution format, with two platforms and an island platform in between, serving two tracks

Island platform
–
An island platform is a station layout arrangement where a single platform is positioned between two tracks within a railway station, tram stop or transitway interchange. Island platforms are popular on twin-track routes due to pragmatic and cost-effective reasons, an alternative arrangement is to position side platforms on either side of the tracks. The historical use of island platforms depends greatly upon the location, the island platform layout is a popular, cost-effective and practical solution in modern railway systems. Island platforms allow facilities such as escalators, elevators, shops, toilets and this is essential for wheelchair accessible stations. An island platform makes it easier for users and the infirm to change services between tracks. Additionally, an island platform layout eliminates the need to construct a crossover or subway between two platforms, however, island platforms may become overcrowded, especially at busy stations, and this can lead to safety issues such as Clapham Common and Angel on the London Underground. However, for the tracks to diverge around the platform, extra width is required along the right-of-way on each approach to the station. Track centers vary for rail systems throughout the world but are normally 3 to 5 meters, if the island platform is 6 meters wide, the tracks have to slew out by the same distance. While this is not a problem on a new line that is being constructed, in addition, a single island platform makes it quite difficult to have through tracks, which are usually between the local tracks. A common configuration in busy locations on high speed lines is a pair of island platforms, high-speed trains can therefore pass straight through the station, while slow trains pass around the platforms. This arrangement also allows the station to serve as a point where trains can be passed by faster trains. The purpose of this design was to reduce unnecessary passenger congestion at a station with a high volume of passengers. Many of the stations on the Great Central Railway were constructed in this form and this was because the line was planned to connect to a Channel Tunnel. Island platforms are a normal sight on Indian railway stations. Almost all railway stations in India consist of island platforms, in Toronto,29 subway stations use island platforms. A slight disadvantage is that crossovers have to be rather long, in southern New Jersey and Philadelphia, PATCO uses island platforms in all of its 13 stations, to facilitate one-person train operation. Most elevated stations in Singapores Mass Rapid Transit system use island platforms, the exception is Dover MRT Station, which uses side platforms as it is built on an existing rail line. The planned Canberra MRT Station will also use side platforms, as it also be built on an existing rail line

Lucien-L'Allier station (RTM)
–
Lucien-LAllier is the commuter rail terminal for the AMT Vaudreuil-Hudson, Saint-Jérôme, and Candiac lines in the Greater Montreal area in Quebec, Canada. Lucien-LAllier is in Fare Zone 1 and it is one of the two downtown terminals for Montreal commuter trains, the other being Central Station. Lucien LAllier station takes its name from the nearby Metro station, originally, the terminus of the commuter rail line was the monumental Windsor Station, which was also the headquarters of Canadian Pacific Railway until it moved to Calgary in 1996. This station was separated from the rails by the construction of the Molson Centre, originally called Terminus Windsor, this new terminal was renamed Gare Lucien-LAllier to reduce confusion with the original Windsor Station, which still exists but is no longer a train station. The station is located at 1290 Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, near the historic Windsor Station, Terminus Lucien-LAllier is the eastern end of the Canadian Pacific Railways Westmount Subdivision

Park Avenue station (Montreal)
–
CPR Park Avenue Station is a former railway station located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located at the end of Park Avenue and its main entrance faces Jean-Talon Street. It is situated in the Park Extension neighbourhood of the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, the Canadian Pacific Railway built the CPR Park Avenue Station, which was designed by architect Colin Drewitt and opened in 1931. It was inaugurated in the presence of Camillien Houde, the mayor of Montreal at the time, Jean-Talon station replaced the Mile End railway station, which was located near the corner of Saint Laurent Boulevard and Bernard Street. In its time, all trains headed toward Quebec City, Ottawa, the stations role as an important railway stop permitted the station to host many important figures. One such event occurred in 1939, when the station was the site of a visit by George VI and the Queen Mother. CPR Park Avenue Station was an important stop for passengers until the early 1950s. Following the closure of Viger Station in 1951, Jean-Talon station suffered a decline in traffic. It was closed itself in 1984 when Via Rail Canada transferred the southern terminal of the Montreal-Quebec City via Trois-Rivieres train service from Windsor Station to Central Station. The central portion of the building became an Indigo Books and Music store, which closed and was replaced by a Société des alcools du Québec store, the building no longer serves its original vocation as a railway station. The main entrance to the building, faces the intersection of Park Avenue, the central portion of the building currently houses a Joe Fresh outlet. The entrance to the Parc Metro station was built within the mens smoking room. Adjacent to the CPR Park Avenue Station is the separate Parc commuter rail station opened in 1997 as Jean-Talon

Candiac line
–
The Candiac line is a commuter railway line in Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Agence métropolitaine de transport, the organization that plans, integrates. The Candiac Line was originally operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway between 1887 and 1980, the AMT resumed passenger service on this line in 2001. There are 9 inbound and 9 outbound trains each weekday and this line links the Lucien-LAllier station in downtown Montreal with Candiac, on Montreals South Shore. The line offers nine departures every weekday towards Montreal and nine trips to Candiac every weekday. Most departures are during rush hour, but three are offered during off-peak hours in each direction, service started on September 4,2001 with 2 round trips every day. One trainset was used for both departures, in September 2003, service was increased to 4 round trips per day and a second trainset was used. Service was extended to Candiac in 2005, in 2009, two additional departures were added in each direction with leased trainsets being used until new locomotives and rolling stock is received. Service on the line was suspended from February 17,2006 to March 9,2006 after the derailment of 6 Canadian Pacific freight cars on February 17, the freight cars derailed on the Saint-Laurent Railway Bridge used by the train service. This was one of the longest disruptions in service for the AMT. High winds were a factor in that derailment, in September 2013 CP banned AMTs multilevel coaches from the bridge during high wind conditions, deeming them potentially unstable in such conditions. Since then AMT has used only its single-level 700 series coaches on this line, the line was renamed on July 1,2010 from Delson-Candiac to simply Candiac to standardize formatting across the network. To improve service and attract new users on the Candiac line, the $20-million project includes improving signaling, adding a siding for freight trains, refurbishing switches and improving pedestrian crossings. Work was scheduled to be completed by 2014, a study on the project was scheduled to start in 2014. Build a new station named Du Canal in Lachine along Saint-Joseph Boulevard. This project is part of the MTQs mitigation measures for the reconstruction of the Turcot interchange, the new station was opened on January 16,2017. Build a new facility at the end of the line. Construction is linked to the improvement project above

Commuter rail in North America
–
It does not include rapid transit or light rail service. Many, but not all, newer commuter railways offer service during peak times only, for example, the West Coast Express commuter rail line runs trains only into Downtown Vancouver during the morning rush hour, and out to the suburbs during the evening rush hour. Other systems avoid the problem entirely by using multiple units. GO Transit in Toronto operates mainly during rush hours on most lines, but offers all-day service seven days a week along its busiest corridor, all of GOs train routes radiate from Toronto Union Station downtown. Future plans for all-day, bidirectional service on all lines are in the works under Metrolinxs The Big Move plan, the Utah Transit Authority operates the FrontRunner, running on thirty-minute headways during weekday rush hours and sixty-minute headways at all other times on weekdays and Saturdays. Service runs until midnight on weeknights, and until just after 2 a. m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The FrontRunner is bidirectional during the entirety of its operating hours, most older, established commuter rail services operate seven days a week, with service from early morning to just after midnight. The Long Island Rail Road is the only 24/7 commuter railroad in North America, the Metro-North Railroad, also serving the New York City Metropolitan Area, runs at all times except the very early morning hours. On these systems, patrons use the trains not just to get to and from work or school, but also for attending sporting events, concerts, theatre, some also provide service to popular weekend getaway spots and recreation areas. Most commuter rail services in North America are operated by government entities or quasi-governmental organizations, almost all share tracks or rights-of-way used by longer-distance passenger services, freight trains, or other commuter services. The 600-mile-long electrified Northeast Corridor in the United States is shared by trains and Amtraks Acela Express, regional. Commuter rail operators often sell reduced-price multiple-trip tickets, charge specific station-to-station fares, Commuter trains typically connect to metro or bus services at their destination and along their route. This is different from the European use of rail, which generally refers to services midway between commuter rail and intercity rail that are not primarily commuter-oriented. The commuter railroads serving the Chicago area are Metra and the South Shore Line, another notable commuter railroad system is Bostons MBTA Commuter Rail, the fifth or sixth busiest in the U. S. with a daily weekday ridership of 130,600 as of Q42011. It serves the Greater Boston metropolitan area, and extends as far south as Wickford, there are only three commuter rail agencies in Canada, GO Transit in Toronto, Agence métropolitaine de transport in Montreal, and West Coast Express in Vancouver. The two busiest rail stations in Canada are Union Station in Toronto and Central Station in Montreal, Commuter rail networks outside of densely populated urban areas like the Washington D. C. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco, Montreal, since the late 1990s, commuter rail networks have been inaugurated in Dallas, San Diego, Minneapolis, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Orlando, and Albuquerque, among other cities. Several more commuter rail projects have been proposed and are in the planning stages, Commuter trains are either powered by diesel-electric or electric locomotives, or else use self-propelled cars

Park and ride
–
The vehicle is left in the car park during the day and retrieved when the owner returns. Park and rides are located in the suburbs of metropolitan areas or on the outer edges of large cities. A park and ride that only offers parking for meeting a carpool and not connections to public transport may be called a park, Park and ride is abbreviated as P+R on road signs in the UK, and is often styled as Park & Ride in marketing. In Sweden, a tax has been introduced on the benefit of free or cheap parking paid by an employer, the tax has reduced the number of workers driving into the inner city, and increased the usage of park and ride areas, especially in Stockholm. The introduction of a tax in Stockholm has further increased the usage of park. In Prague, park and ride car parks are established near some metro and these car parks offer low prices and all-day and return tickets including the public transport fare. Park and ride facilities allow commuters to avoid a stressful drive along congested roads and they may well reduce congestion by assisting the use of public transport in congested urban areas. There is not much research on the pros and cons of park and it has been suggested that there is a lack of clear-cut evidence for park and rides widely assumed impact in reducing congestion. Park and ride facilities help commuters who live beyond practical walking distance from the station or bus stop. They may also suit commuters with alternative fuel vehicles, which often have reduced range and they also are useful as a fixed meeting place for those carsharing or carpooling or using kiss and ride. Also, some transit operators use park and ride facilities to more efficient driving practices by reserving parking spaces for low emission designs, high-occupancy vehicles. Many park and rides have passenger waiting areas and/or toilets, travel information, such as leaflets and posters, may be provided. At larger facilities, extra services such as an office, food shop, car wash. These are often encouraged by municipal operators to use of park. Park and ride facilities, with dedicated car parks and bus services, Oxford operated the first such scheme, initially with an experimental service operating part-time from a motel on the A34 in the 1960s and then on a full-time basis from 1973. Better Choice Parking first offered an airport park and ride service at London Gatwick Airport in 1978, Oxford now operates park and ride from 5 dedicated car parks around the city. As of 2015, Oxford has the biggest urban park & ride network in the UK with a capacity of 5,031 car parking spaces. One of the largest park and rides in Saudi Arabia is located at Kudai in Mecca and it helps people go the Masjid al-Haram, There is a Shuttle Service operated by SAPTCO that takes people during Ramadan from the Kudai Parking to the Masjid al-Haram

Canadian Pacific Railway
–
The Canadian Pacific Railway, also known formerly as CP Rail between 1968 and 1996, is a historic Canadian Class I railroad incorporated in 1881. The railroad is owned by Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, which began operations as legal owner in a restructuring in 2001. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, it owns approximately 20,000 kilometres of track all across Canada and into the United States, stretching from Montreal to Vancouver, and as far north as Edmonton. Its rail network also serves Minneapolis-St. Paul, Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, the railway was originally built between Eastern Canada and British Columbia between 1881 and 1885, fulfilling a promise extended to British Columbia when it entered Confederation in 1871. It was Canadas first transcontinental railway, but no longer reaches the Atlantic coast, the CPR became one of the largest and most powerful companies in Canada, a position it held as late as 1975. Its primary passenger services were eliminated in 1986, after being assumed by Via Rail Canada in 1978, a beaver was chosen as the railways logo because it is the national symbol of Canada and was seen as representing the hardworking character of the company. The company acquired two American lines in 2009, the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad and the Iowa, Chicago, the trackage of the ICE was at one time part of CP subsidiary Soo Line and predecessor line The Milwaukee Road. It is publicly traded on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CP and its U. S. headquarters are in Minneapolis. The creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway was a task undertaken for a combination of reasons by the Conservative government of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald. He was helped by Sir Alexander Tilloch Galt, who was the owner of the North Western Coal and his company went through several name changes during the process of the construction of the railway. British Columbia, a sea voyage away from the East Coast, had insisted upon a land transport link to the East as a condition for joining Confederation. The government however proposed to build a railway linking the Pacific province to the Eastern provinces within 10 years of 20 July 1871, Macdonald saw it as essential to the creation of a unified Canadian nation that would stretch across the continent. Moreover, manufacturing interests in Quebec and Ontario wanted access to raw materials, the first obstacle to its construction was political. The logical route went through the American Midwest and the city of Chicago, to ensure this routing, the government offered huge incentives including vast grants of land in the West. Because of this scandal, the Conservative Party was removed from office in 1873, surveying was carried out during the first years of a number of alternative routes in this virgin territory followed by construction of a telegraph along the lines that had been agreed upon. The Thunder Bay section linking Lake Superior to Winnipeg was commenced in 1875, by 1880, around 1,000 kilometres was nearly complete, mainly across the troublesome Canadian Shield terrain, with trains running on only 500 kilometres of track. With Macdonalds return to power on 16 October 1878, an aggressive construction policy was adopted. Macdonald confirmed that Port Moody would be the terminus of the transcontinental railway, in 1879, the federal government floated bonds in London and called for tenders to construct the 206 km section of the railway from Yale, British Columbia, to Savonas Ferry, on Kamloops Lake

Windsor Station (Montreal)
–
Windsor Station is a former railway station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It used to be the citys Canadian Pacific Railway station, and it is bordered by Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal to the north, Peel Street to the east, Saint Antoine Street to the south and the Bell Centre to the west. Windsor Station was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1975, and was designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1990, the walls are gray limestone from a quarry in Montreal. Outside, the columns reach up to 7 feet wide, in 1887, the Canadian Pacific Railway began to build a railway station in Montreal, which would serve as its headquarters, three years after the completion of the Dalhousie Station in 1884. The Windsor Station project was entrusted to New York City architect Bruce Price, Price had to submit four versions of his plans to satisfy the treasurer of CPR, before the project was accepted. It was constructed at a cost of $300,000 CAD, and it was known as the Windsor Street Station, named for the street on which it was located, Windsor Street. It was expanded for the first time from 1900 to 1903, the third expansion, in 1916, included a fifteen-storey tower which dramatically altered Montreals skyline. The project was entrusted to the firm of brothers Edward and William Maxwell, Windsor Station formed an integral component of Dominion Square as a diffuser of passenger traffic and as a central terminus for other modes of transportation. The building skirted Windsor Street and Osborne Street between Donegani, the building had four floors up to Osborne Street and five floors at street-level on Donegani Street because of the slope of the terrain. In July 1970, CPR announced its plans to demolish Windsor Station, the building, which was going to cost C$250 million, was to be designed by the same architects as New York Citys World Trade Center. After several delays the project was abandoned, via Rail was created in 1978 and took over the responsibility for operating intercity passenger trains of both Canadian National CN) and CPR. During Vias first months there was no change for CPR or CN trains, as they used their respective crews, routes, equipment. Via Dayliners operating between Windsor Station and St. Sacrement station in Quebec City via the CP route north of the St. Lawrence River continued to use Windsor Station until 1984, amtraks daily Montreal-New York City train continued to use Windsor Station until 1986. Both the dayliners and the Adirondack were switched to Central Station, local services to Ottawa via Montebello and to Mont-Laurier, both of which had been transferred from CPR to Via, continued to use Windsor Station until they were cancelled in 1981. After intercity passenger service was removed, Windsor Station continued to be a rail terminal for the STCUMs Dorion/Rigaud suburban train line. In 1993, construction began on the Molson Centre, an arena to replace the Montreal Forum. The arena site was located immediately west of Windsor Station on the trackage which served the station platforms and it is still possible to walk through the Bell Centre to connect with Windsor Station and the Lucien LAllier metro station. Windsor Station, and now Lucien-LAllier Station, are at the end of CPRs Westmount Subdivision

Boston
–
Boston is the capital and most populous city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. Boston is also the seat of Suffolk County, although the county government was disbanded on July 1,1999. The city proper covers 48 square miles with a population of 667,137 in 2015, making it the largest city in New England. Alternately, as a Combined Statistical Area, this wider commuting region is home to some 8.1 million people, One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon U. S. independence from Great Britain, it continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub as well as a center for education, through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing over 20 million visitors per year, Bostons many firsts include the United States first public school, Boston Latin School, first subway system, the Tremont Street Subway, and first public park, Boston Common. Bostons economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, the city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States as it has undergone gentrification, though it remains high on world livability rankings. Bostons early European settlers had first called the area Trimountaine but later renamed it Boston after Boston, Lincolnshire, England, the renaming on September 7,1630 was by Puritan colonists from England who had moved over from Charlestown earlier that year in quest of fresh water. Their settlement was limited to the Shawmut Peninsula, at that time surrounded by the Massachusetts Bay and Charles River. The peninsula is thought to have been inhabited as early as 5000 BC, in 1629, the Massachusetts Bay Colonys first governor John Winthrop led the signing of the Cambridge Agreement, a key founding document of the city. Puritan ethics and their focus on education influenced its early history, over the next 130 years, the city participated in four French and Indian Wars, until the British defeated the French and their Indian allies in North America. Boston was the largest town in British America until Philadelphia grew larger in the mid-18th century, Bostons harbor activity was significantly curtailed by the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812. Foreign trade returned after these hostilities, but Bostons merchants had found alternatives for their investments in the interim. Manufacturing became an important component of the economy, and the citys industrial manufacturing overtook international trade in economic importance by the mid-19th century. Boston remained one of the nations largest manufacturing centers until the early 20th century, a network of small rivers bordering the city and connecting it to the surrounding region facilitated shipment of goods and led to a proliferation of mills and factories. Later, a network of railroads furthered the regions industry. Boston was a port of the Atlantic triangular slave trade in the New England colonies

Canadian (train)
–
The Canadian is a transcontinental passenger train operated by Via Rail Canada with service between Union Station in Toronto, Ontario, and Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, British Columbia. Before 1955 the Canadian was a Canadian Pacific Railway train between Toronto and Chicago, in 1955, CPR renamed its transcontinental route between Montreal/Toronto and Vancouver the Canadian, with new streamlined trains. Via Rail took over in 1978, and in 1990 reduced the Canadian to Toronto - Vancouver service primarily along Canadian National tracks. While these cars were serviceable, American trains of the early 1950s, to complement the new rolling stock, the CPR ordered General Motors Diesel FP9 locomotives to supplement an existing fleet of FP7s. Although these F-units remained the power for the train, it was occasionally pulled by a variety of motive power. CPR christened its new flagship train The Canadian and service began on April 24,1955, running time between Montreal and Vancouver was reduced from about 85 to 71 hours, so that passengers spent only three, rather than four, nights en route. CPR operated the train in two sections east of Sudbury, Ontario, the section operating between Montreal and Vancouver was known as train 1 westbound and train 2 eastbound, with a connecting section to or from Toronto splitting or joining at Sudbury. Matching its streamlined appearance, The Canadians 71-hour westbound schedule was 16 hours faster than that of The Dominion, although initially successful, passenger train ridership began to decline in Canada during the 1960s. Although this petition was denied, CPR during the 1970s attempted to remove itself from the service market. The Canadian was operated at reduced levels, with the government subsidizing 80 percent of its losses, following the takeover by Via, the Canadian became the companys premier transcontinental train, and initially operated over its old CPR route. It was supplemented by the former CN Super Continental, which operated over the parallel, the Canadian continued to be operated in two sections east of Sudbury and provided daily service west to Vancouver and east to Toronto and Montreal. This maintained transcontinental service and allowed Via to operate its service to small communities along the line. The new longer route bypassed Regina and Calgary in favor of Saskatoon and Edmonton, service was reduced to three days per week and two times a week in off season, from previous daily service on both CP and CN routes. In 2007 the schedule was lengthened so that the train now takes four nights, the present schedule is almost identical with that of the 1940s over the same route, when CN operated it with steam locomotives. Today, Via Rail continues to operate the Canadian using the CN route with rebuilt ex-CPR Budd passenger equipment, in 2013, the train was honoured by being featured on the back of the new polymer $10 Canadian bill. The Canadians eastbound journey begins at Vancouvers Pacific Central Station and it uses the BNSF tracks through suburban communities including Burnaby, to New Westminster. After the train crosses the New Westminster Bridge, it enters CN tracks and then passes through several railroad yards, CN and CPR have agreements which allow directional running through the Fraser and Thompson River canyons. Most eastbound trains use the CPR tracks, most westbound trains use the CN tracks

Adirondack (train)
–
The Adirondack is a passenger train operated daily along the Empire Corridor by Amtrak between New York City and Montreal. The trip takes approximately 11 hours to cover a distance of 381 miles, traveling through the scenic Hudson Valley. The Adirondack operates as train 68 towards New York, and as 69 from New York to Montreal, the Adirondack service is financed by the New York State Department of Transportation. The Adirondack service suffers from numerous delays along the route because almost none of the trackage is owned by Amtrak, the on-time performance of the route averaged 64. 8% for the year ending June 2016. According to Amtrak,28. 8% of the delay was due to track- and signal-related problems. During fiscal year 2015, the Adirondack carried over 132,345 passengers, the train had a total revenue of $7,453,664 during FY2015. At the inception of Amtrak in 1971 the Delaware & Hudson operated two trains between Albany, New York and Montreal, the Montreal Limited and the Laurentian, both trains were discontinued, and for three years the D&H line saw no service. The Adirondack began running on August 5,1974, from Grand Central Terminal in New York to Albany, from the outset the train operated with financial support from the state of New York. Until the Empire Connection was built in 1991, the train served Grand Central Terminal instead of Penn Station in New York City, there is a short distance of track between Albany and Schenectady that allows for 110 MPH operations. The Adirondack debuted in 1974 with D&H equipment, much of it ex-Laurentian and these were supplemented by a pair of Skyline dome cars leased from the Canadian Pacific Railway. Four D&H ALCO PA diesel locomotives hauled the train, on March 1,1977, new Turboliner gas turbine trainsets took over from the D&H cars. Conventional Amtrak equipment would eventually displace the Turboliners, the Adirondack operates year-round with General Electric P42DC and P32AC-DM units and Amfleet passenger cars. A typical consist will include,1 P42DC/P32AC-DM locomotive, the P32AC-DM operates between New York and Albany, the P42DC handles the remainder. 1 Amfleet I cafe car 2-4 Amfleet I coach cars 2 Amfleet II coach cars 1 Full-length Dome car, the Adirondack, unlike other Empire Service trains and the Maple Leaf, does not offer business class seating. There is a proposal for a Montreal—New York City high-speed train, the song Anna-Lisa by Prozzak plays an announcement of the trains Montreal-bound stops in the background.

Place Viger
–
Place Viger was both a grand hotel and railway station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, constructed in 1898 and named after Jacques Viger, the first Mayor of the city. Although combined stations and hotels were common in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century, the rail station served as the terminus of the CP passenger rail lines running into downtown Montreal from the north and east. It replaced the older Dalhousie Station and its counterpart terminus for CP passenger rail lines running into downtown Montreal from the south and west was Windsor Station. Constructed in the common to railway hotels built by the Canadian Pacific, Place Viger housed the railway station in its lower levels. Place Viger enjoyed an enviable setting adjacent to the gardens of Viger Square, the shifting of Montreals commercial core to the north-west, and the onset of the economic depression of the 1930s, proved disastrous for Place Viger. In 1951, the station was also closed, and the building was sold to the City of Montreal. The interiors were gutted and transformed into office space. The Viger Square gardens were destroyed in the 1970s to allow for the construction of the Autoroute Ville-Marie highway, for decades, the old Place Viger station sat isolated and neglected, a striking historic building surrounded by parking lots and concrete. In 2003, the Commission scolaire de Montréal, the City of Montreal, Place Viger was sold in 2005 to a developer who intended to convert the building to apartments and a new hotel. However, the developer suffered financial difficulties and finally resold the property in 2012, in May 2014, the new owner, real estate developer Jesta along with partners, announced a $250 million mixed-use redevelopment plan for the complex, including residential and office space. In September of that year, software provider Lightspeed announced that it would be moving its Montreal offices to the Viger complex. Lightspeed moved in Viger castle in April 2015, brasseur de Montreal opened one of its brewpub restaurants in the Berri street wing of the Viger complex in April 2015

Quebec City, French, Ville de Québec, officially Québec) is the capital city of the Canadian province of Quebec. Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The citys landmarks include the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the skyline, and La Citadelle, the National Assembly of Quebec, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, and the Musée de la civilisation are found within or near Vieux-Québec. Thus, Québec is officially spelled with an accented é in both Canadian English and French, although the accent is not used in common English usage. Quebec City is one of the oldest European settlements in North America, while many of the major cities in Latin America date from the sixteenth century, among cities in Canada and the U. S. few were created earlier than Quebec City. Also, Quebecs Old Town is the only North American fortified city north of Mexico whose walls still exist, French explorer Jacques Cartier built a fort at the site in 1535, where he stayed for the winter before going back to France in spring 1536. He came back in 1541 with the goal of building a permanent settlement, Quebec was founded by Samuel de Champlain, a French explorer and diplomat on 3 July 1608, and at the site of a long abandoned St. Lawrence Iroquoian settlement called Stadacona. Champlain, also called The Father of New France, served as its administrator for the rest of his life, the name Canada refers to this settlement. Although called the cradle of the Francophone population in North America, the place seemed favourable to the establishment of a permanent colony. In 1629 there was the surrender of Quebec, without battle, however, Samuel de Champlain argued that the English seizing of the lands was illegal as the war had already ended, he worked to have the lands returned to France. As part of the negotiations of their exit from the Anglo-French War. These terms were signed into law with the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the lands in Quebec and Acadia were returned to the French Company of One Hundred Associates. In 1665, there were 550 people in 70 houses living in the city, one-quarter of the people were members of religious orders, secular priests, Jesuits, Ursulines nuns and the order running the local hospital, Hotel-Dieu. Quebec City was the headquarters of many raids against New England during the four French, in the last war, the French and Indian War, Quebec City was captured by the British in 1759 and held until the end of the war in 1763. France ceded New France, including the city, to Britain in 1763, at the end of French rule in 1763, forests, villages, fields and pastures surrounded the town of 8,000 inhabitants. The town distinguished itself by its architecture, fortifications, affluent homes of masonry and shacks in the suburbs of Saint-Jean. Despite its urbanity and its status as capital, Quebec City remained a small city with close ties to its rural surroundings. Nearby inhabitants traded their farm surpluses and firewood for imported goods from France at the two city markets, during the American Revolution revolutionary troops from the southern colonies assaulted the British garrison in an attempt to liberate Quebec City, in a conflict now known as the Battle of Quebec

The area was used for wild harvesting, hunting, fishing, trade, travel. The Ottawa river valley has archaeological sites with arrow heads, pottery, the area has three major rivers that meet, making it an important trade and travel area for thousands of years. The Algonquins called the Ottawa River Kichi Sibi or Kichissippi meaning Great River or Grand River, Étienne Brûlé, the first European to travel up the Ottawa River, passed by Ottawa in 1610 on his way to the Great Lakes. Three years later, Samuel de Champlain wrote about the waterfalls of the area and about his encounters with the Algonquins, the early explorers and traders were later followed by many missionaries. The first maps of the area used the word Ottawa to name the river, philemon Wright, a New Englander, created the first settlement in the area on 7 March 1800 on the north side of the river, across from Ottawa in Hull. He, with five other families and twenty-five labourers, set about to create a community called Wrightsville. Wright pioneered the Ottawa Valley timber trade by transporting timber by river from the Ottawa Valley to Quebec City, the following year, the town would soon be named after British military engineer Colonel John By who was responsible for the entire Rideau Waterway construction project. Colonel By set up military barracks on the site of todays Parliament Hill and he also laid out the streets of the town and created two distinct neighbourhoods named Upper Town west of the canal and Lower Town east of the canal. Similar to its Upper Canada and Lower Canada namesakes, historically Upper Town was predominantly English speaking and Protestant whereas Lower Town was predominantly French, Irish, bytowns population grew to 1,000 as the Rideau Canal was being completed in 1832.

International Standard Book Number
–
The International Standard Book Number is a unique numeric commercial book identifier. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an e-book, a paperback and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, the method of assigning an ISBN is nation-based and varies from country to country, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within a country. The initial ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering created in 1966, the 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108. Occasionally, a book may appear without a printed ISBN if it is printed privately or the author does not follow the usual ISBN procedure, however, this can be rectified later. Another identifier, the International Standard Serial Number, identifies periodical publications such as magazines, the ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 in the United Kingdom by David Whitaker and in 1968 in the US by Emery Koltay. The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108, the United Kingdom continued to use the 9-digit SBN code until 1974. The ISO on-line facility only refers back to 1978, an SBN may be converted to an ISBN by prefixing the digit 0. For example, the edition of Mr. J. G. Reeder Returns, published by Hodder in 1965, has SBN340013818 -340 indicating the publisher,01381 their serial number. This can be converted to ISBN 0-340-01381-8, the check digit does not need to be re-calculated, since 1 January 2007, ISBNs have contained 13 digits, a format that is compatible with Bookland European Article Number EAN-13s. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an ebook, a paperback, and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, a 13-digit ISBN can be separated into its parts, and when this is done it is customary to separate the parts with hyphens or spaces. Separating the parts of a 10-digit ISBN is also done with either hyphens or spaces, figuring out how to correctly separate a given ISBN number is complicated, because most of the parts do not use a fixed number of digits. ISBN issuance is country-specific, in that ISBNs are issued by the ISBN registration agency that is responsible for country or territory regardless of the publication language. Some ISBN registration agencies are based in national libraries or within ministries of culture, in other cases, the ISBN registration service is provided by organisations such as bibliographic data providers that are not government funded. In Canada, ISBNs are issued at no cost with the purpose of encouraging Canadian culture. In the United Kingdom, United States, and some countries, where the service is provided by non-government-funded organisations. Australia, ISBNs are issued by the library services agency Thorpe-Bowker
