I just read in the Feb 2009 issue of Trains magazine that the shops suffered heavy damage in a 5 alarm fire back on Nov, 15th 2008. Isn't this the shops where the leased NJ Transit cars
were being overhauled prior to entering Montreal commuter service? Does anyone have greater detail about AMP Rail Services Canada and what is happening to the rest of the Comet 1 cars that Agence Metropolitaine de Transport has leased? I couldn't find any information about this fire on the Transit column, its not VIA or CN anymore so I am posting here. Any further infomation would be appreciated.
