context_page_description: The Port of Montreal Railway is a terminal railroad operating in Montreal, Canada.
  Founded in 1907, it is owned by the governmental entity the Montreal Port Authority. However, its operations are run separately from the port as a for-profit arm.
  About 100 km of track are under the railroad's jurisdiction, and junctions are present with both CN and Canadian Pacific. Containers are ferried by rail to the interchange area or loaded directly onto trains. An average of about 45 trains operate per week.
  As of 2015, the railway has a maintenance team of about 20 people, working 365 days a year. The railway handles about 60 to 80 trains per week over the 100 km of track, with 168 switch points to be maintained. The port entrance off Boucherville Street sees about 2500 trucks daily that enter or exit the facility.
