The ALP-45DP are currently used on the following AMT train lines: - Mascouche line - Saint-Jérôme line - Vaudreuil-Hudson line - Mont-Saint-Hilaire line Only on the Mascouche line the locomotives are used in both diesel and electricity. On the other lines, they are used 100% time on diesel. They wer...

At the beginning of July, I've traveled aboard an AMT train on the Candiac line from Lucien-L'Allier station in downtown Montreal to Candiac station located on the south shore. We can see on this video the construction work of a third track for the AMT commuter trains on the Westmount subdivision be...

Yesterday afternoon I made a trip aboard one of the AMT commuter trains on the Mont-St-Hilaire line. On the first video, we can have a cab view from the back when the train is leaving Central Station and when it is crossing the Victoria Bridge until Saint-Lambert station.

Hi! As many of you may already know, the Two-Mountains train line (Deux-Montagnes train line) is the busiest commuter train line in Montreal and serves many of the West Island and north boroughs of Montreal. Many problems have been affecting this train line for almost 10 years and the AMT and the Qu...

Thanks! Does AMT still use F40s? The AMT no longer use any F40. They were all replaced by the ALP-45DP on the Mont-Saint-Hilaire line although they are being used in 100% pure diesel mode. The only electrified or partially electrified train lines in Montreal are the Mascouche and Deux-Montagnes lin...

Thanks for sharing. Any idea why the MR90 train exiting the tunnel at the end of part 1 was using the west track rather than the normal east track? The MR-90 was using the west track because it was used by some workers and engineers to inspect the Mount-Royal tunnel rather than regular service. You...

Here are some other videos I've taken between the Mount-Royal and Canora stations of the AMT trains operated on the Mascouche and Deux-Montagnes lines. We can also see, in these videos, when the ALP-45DP locomotive is switching modes (from diesel to electric and vice-versa) at Mount-Royal stations b...
