the one that is a EMU is the Deux-Montagne line... There's also the Candiac Line, Saint-Jérome Line, Vaudreuil-Hudson Line, Mascouche Line and Mont-St-Hilaire Line...
@@gaelfortier2668 Yeah, those are all diesel lines, and the vaudreil Hudson not olny used to go to rigaud, but it was part of the CP transcon line to gatineau. I checked in Jim saugnessy's book theres a old map from the fidties, and Mother nature is reclaiming the old line after hudson.
Seeing as the Two Mountains line is now becoming an LRT I really hope the MR-90s end up in Toronto seeing as GO has had plans to electrify for years. But I know that will probably never happen.
@@marcleslac2413 Or even perform a trade the mp40ph's (or the mp54ac's for that matter) for the alp45dp's, EXO has no more electric track, they don't need dual power locomotives.
Sadly the MR-90s are now all scrapped (exept for pair 400-485 at 3:21 in the vid, as she was the lucky one as the 2 car pair was set aside to be preserved)
wclifton968 still, it's much better than low platforms + low-floor trains. Compare, inconvinient entrance vs inconvinient ride. The best solution is high-floor train + matching platforms tho
Why inconvinient ride? I'm from Europe and there are a ton of Low floor trains running in my region and I've never noticed anything wrong with the ride on them.
DrDewott I rode some of them too (namely BR440 in Germany) and yeah, they are nice, but it's much more convinient to have constant (and high) floor height within the train as there are no raised surfaces to house bogies and equipment (everything fits under flat floor), making more space availiable inside, also unnecessarily low floor trains require much more complex bogey design. The only case when low floor is appropriate is double-deck trains.
I mean yes I suppose so, the UK figured that out but that's also mostly because of them having high floor platforms to begin with. With most other countries though it doesn't make sense to rebuilt the networks of their entire country to do this. With more disabiled people riding trains over here more than never before now too it makes sense to have stepfree access for people to make the journey better for all the passengers. There are tons of Alstom Coradia Lint trains going through a local train station at 20-30 minute intervals per line and people like the low floor and the easy access in and out of the train. Also in case of equipment it's stored on the roof on these trains. The Low floor standard is also over here the same as with a typical European Double Decker train coach and if a Station over here doesn't already have that it will have it soon. The Ministry of Transportation in Denmark at least where I live has plans to make every single train station and request stop in the country step free, both with the platforms and entry into the train from the platforms. Sorry if the entire message is a but cluttered btw.
Does anyone know what kind of bell those EMU's have? I think it's some kind of e-bell, but I've never heard one like that in the United States, I've only heard them on video in Canada. EDIT: Like the one at 4:58.
probably because its cheaper. they have low platforms in places all over eastern Europe like in places such as Italy or maybe somewhere like Poland....
+New Day Transit Kid damn, even more places. here in the UK all our platforms match the standard height of the trains that we use and as far as I'm aware always has except for when the Drayton park to Moorgate line was run by LT on the northern line using 1938 stock trains so it seems that you North Americans like cheaping out on stuff like this.
