How often do trains run through that tourist-filled area?

[Montrealrail]

thers one train on each direction per day

they used to pass by even if theres are lot of tourists,they ride at 10 MPH across this area

Any idea what time the trains run on the branch?

I caught power heading from CN up to Hochelaga around 0900 one morning last August. Is that pretty normal?

[Montrealrail]

It's normal

the only thing,this train have no scedule,cause it's on request sometime,but one I can tell is on the scedule is on Longue Pointe sub 9 pm east direction and midnight on westbound and it's the switcher doing the raffinery jub..

some time in the morning,around 8 or 9 O-clock am,you can get the 783 Ultra-train,westbound,probably that one you seen..
