The Minirail at Expo 67, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1967. This ‘people mover’ was an automated monorail system on Saint Helen's and Notre Dame islands at the site. The system consisted of three independent circuits operated by two different types of trains, with the larger ‘Blue’ trains (No 4 is shown here) running mostly on Notre Dame Island. These ceased operating in 1973. The green pointed structure in the background was the Canadian Pulp and Paper pavilion – a vintage 1960s photograph.

The 1967 World Exposition (or World's Fair) or ‘Expo 67’ was situated on island site on the St Lawrence River. Its theme was ‘Man and his World’. The attraction lived on after 1967 during summer months and finally closed in 1981. This image is from an old amateur Kodak colour transparency taken by a visitor to the fair. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
