I wouldn't mind catching freight, especially at Dorval. The Friday and Monday that I'm in Montreal, I plan to focus a little more on the AMTs, especially the diesel lines.

It has frequent service and brings you directly to Lionel-Groulx métro station. It should be fast, because that line doesn't stop between Terminus Dorval and Lionel-Groulx.

Work is currently being done to double the tracks (between Saint-Martin Jct and Sainte-Rose station) and add sidings. At least 6 trains (3 in each direction) should be added somewhere in 2012. Old switches will be also replaced, so travel time should be slightly reduced.

Yes, that line going around roundabout takes a while. It seems like a lot of people get off at Parc and switch to the Metro.Parc station would be a nice spot for photography, but you need a ticket if you are standing on the platform. I personnaly prefer De la Concorde train station, which is also accessible by metro.
BTW, how is Parc station for photography? In addition, I see that this line passes the Deux Montagnes near Canora Sta. How is the photo situation there? thanks.
