Montreal, CANADA - Canadian National Central Station - REAL PHOTO - 1943: Central Station (French: Gare Centrale) (IATA: YMY) is the major inter-city rail station and a major commuter rail hub in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 18 million rail passengers use the station every year. Designed by CNR\'s architect-in-chief John Schofield (1883-1971), the architecture of Central Station is modern; it is a mixture of Art Deco and the international style. Its large concourse designed by John Campbell Merrett (1909-1998) is illuminated by large windows. Originally, the concourse was cluttered by various ticket counters and kiosks, but, over time, they were pushed to the extremities of the room, which left much more space for the passing crowds. The 14 underground tracks are accessible by seven stairwells, five of which are equipped with escalators. The opening of a \'central\' station in 1943 was part of a consolidation project undertaken by CNR since 1929 with the enactment of the Canadian National Montreal Terminals Act, 1929 by Parliament; this saw the closure of former temporary stations operated by CNR predecessors Grand Trunk (Bonaventure Station) and Canadian Northern.
