Bonjour! This Summer, I went on a vacation to Montreal, in Quebec Canada. While I did catch a lot of Canadian Pacific and Canadian National freight train action, along with some VIA Corridor trains, my main objective was getting some passenger train action. I only had a few days, but I managed to get a lot of action in a short period of time!
Since 1997 the Agence métropolitaine de transport, otherwise commonly reffered to as the AMT, has been running commuter trains on their 6 different rail lines throughout the Montreal area. Earlier this year however, the RTM changed their branding of the AMT to "exo". Only a handful of coaches are currently repainted in their new (rather ugly and bland) paint scheme, and only a few locomotives have patches over the AMT name. Since I visited Montreal a few months back, I thankfully only caught 1 of their newly repainted coaches.
The AMT is known for their F59PH and F59PHI power, of which the "PH's" are secondhand from GO Transit. I focused the majority of my filming at the Montreal Ouest station, located on the mainline into Downtown Montreal. Tons of action here in the morning, trains every few minutes going in every single direction! Also threw in a few shots from other various locations throughout the Montreal area. You'll also see some action underneath the ground, in the form of the classic Montreal Metro subway system! This is one unique system, even running on rubber wheels!
All locations listed in video.
Thanks for watching!
