360, Rue McGill
The Grand Trunk was a London-based railway company that established its North American headquarters in Montreal. Its five-story building on McGill Street was constructed between 1899 and 1902. At its peak, the company operated an extensive network across Quebec, Ontario, and the northeastern United States.
In 1922, the Grand Trunk was absorbed into the newly formed Canadian National Railway Company (CN). The building was later acquired by the Quebec government in 1961 and is still in use today, now known as the Gérald-Godin Building.
