Here's another video of the AMT commuter trains. I've taken those videos while I was testing my new camera. Enjoy!

Thanks for the videos. I gather the ALP-45DPs are still not in use on the Deux-Montagnes line. Any word on when this might happen? I am also curious if there's ever been any talk of AMT electrifying and using the freight-only parallel track between Val-Royale and Autoroute 13? The ALP-45DP's are st...

Here's two other videos that I've made recently. In the first one I've made an assembly of old and new videos presenting some rides aboard some AMT commuter trains. The song belongs to Bon Jovi, "You want to make a memory!": AMT commuter train rides: http://youtu.be/BWjKD8oPYNw" oncli...

Here's several videos of the AMT Deux-Montagnes commuter train line, taken at different places at Montreal west island. They were filmed during the beginning of this spring: Railfanning AMT Deux-Montagnes train line - April & May 2014: http://youtu.be/FcakvviSXqQ" onclick="window.open(...

Since I haven't posted any other videos since Christmas (because I've been very busy and it has been a very cold winter!), I've decided to publish some old videos I've taken last fall. I haven't published these since that time because I hoped that I could also add some videos of the ALP-45DP locomot...

After having been out of service for over 3 years, and freshly refurbished and repainted, the AMT 700 series cars are starting to enter service on the Candiac train line. They were spotted on train #89 going toward Candiac during the evening rush hour. AMT 700 series cars back in service: http://www...

It is now confirmed: the AMT ALP-45DPs will be reintroduced on the CN's rail network starting this summer. Mont-St-Hilaire line: summer 2013 Deux-Montagnes line: fall 2013, they are waiting that the construction work is completed on the Jonction de l'Est Bonjour, quant à la remise en service des bim...

Those trains do not use the the tracks between Gare Centrale and jonction de l'est. Clearly, these trains can go nowhere near Gare Centrale or the Mount Royal Tunnel. They get onto the Deux Montages Subdivision via joncton de l'est. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=83080&nseq=3 I un...

I was referring to the tracks near Gare Centrale not taking the weight, and needing upgrades. Are there any other trains on the tracks used by the Deux Montages trains? Sometimes, there are some CN freight trains, which are heavier than the MR-90, using the Deux-Montagnes subdivision in order to jo...

I live near a Deux-Montagnes station and have never seen any ALP-45DP's being tested on the Deux-Montagnes line... What about the renovations needed on the tracks for which CN wanted the AMT to pay for? A year ago, just before CN banning, I had filmed the ALP-45DP's being tested on the Deux-Montagn...
