Uncovered for the first time in its history, the former Canadian National Railways Mount Royal Tunnel basks in the late afternoon sun on Oct. 24th, 2020, as excavation work progresses for an in-tunnel station linking the Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) network, now under construction, to the Société de Transport de Montréal’s  McGill Metro Station and the city’s underground pedestrian system. This portion of the REM network is forecast to enter revenue service sometime in 2022-23. — John Godfrey
