Quebec Railroads & Montreal, 1880s (Questions)

Hey guys, I'm just doing a little research for a writing project (multi-volume novel by the looks of it. ō_ō) here and I just have some questions about a bygone era.

So far, what I have is an adolescent runaway girl who goes on a train (Grand Trunk Railroad, it looks like) towards Toronto. The question is then, if she gets on at a railroad station legitimately (she sells her trinkets enough for a ticket), which railroad station would this be, and where is it? A couple pictures won't hurt.

Secondly, if she's from the working class areas, which areas would this be? I take it is not Westmount. Some streets that resemble the built up environment of that time would be nice so that I can look them up on Google Maps if possible.

Yeah, beyond that, I'll see if I have any more questions. This is a good start.
