Here is a shot of the Lachine Canal taken from my car while on the Angrigon Boulevard on my way home from Verdun yesterday. You will recognize the old black steel Crane in the background. The other structure on the right is a silo.

Visite virtuelle Le secteur de la grue LaSalle-Coke
Le symbole du canal
짤 Parcs Canada / Jacques Beardsell / VSP.087.D.0006 Dominant le plan d'eau, la grue se dresse tel un monument symbolisant l'interdépendance entre la voie navigable et l'industrie. À l'époque, elle servait à décharger le charbon arrivant par bateau pour alimenter une usine. La grue sera restaurée, et on pourrait y aménager un belvédère qui présenterait un point de vue spectaculaire sur le corridor du canal. http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/qc/canallachine/activ/activ4i_F.asp Checkout the photo's avaiable on the site.......in case those arrows above don't work ( they should but you never know) so the link is there as back up too !
