According to the comments on f-book this is early 1980's. The truck is from a company named
Transport Chaine Inc. Heavy equipment movers. The tram is the funicular located at
Shawinigan-2 Generating station in Quebec.
The history of the facility is quite amazing when you start searching for information. <<<<
All built in the late 1800's and expanded over the beginning of the 1900's
Here is the google maps image search. From what I gather, the red arrow , I added, points to the landing turntable for the funicular.
As I was scrolling around google earth I noticed this area North of the hydoelectric station
It was once a large paper and pulp mill. Now it's just demolished concrete covered in graffiti.
This image. I found, is from 1946:
You can see the church, just above center on the left of the photo. In the aerial photo above
it's left- center. Here is the church recently <<
