CPR Angus Shops

CPR Angus Shops in Montreal was a railcar manufacturing, repairing and selling facility of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The most of its production consisted of passenger cars, freight cars and locomotives. Built in 1904, it was decommissioned in 1992 and slated for redevelopment for commercial, industrial and housing.

During World War II, Angus Shops produced tanks for the war effort. The first was completed on May 22 1941.

It consisted of four different phases, thus decontaminating it from industrial grime, demolishing old buildings and redefining the urban infrastructure of the current Rosemont neighborhood. The redevelopment was completed between 1993 and 2000.
