Well, they did apologize... "However, things took a turn for the worse. The train started to head in the opposite direction, back toward Brossard. The train pulled into the brightly lit garage, with parked trains all around them on the tracks. There was a third passenger on board with them, a tourist from Venezuela who didn't speak English or French, and the three of them were all equally confused. "You cannot open the door. There's no driver," Grégoire said. His wife found an intercom system on board and asked for help. After about eight minutes, Grégoire said the voice on the other end told them "the train was not responding" and to wait for it to take them back to the Brossard station. Once they arrived there, a REM employee was waiting for them with a company SUV, which finally drove them home. "They did apologize," he added."

That was definitely already a common enough expression way back in the 80s, 90s and still used today. It's not something people say every day but it's in the brain's lexicon vault for sure.

You just know it'll be fixed to meet minimum safety standards with about four feet of orange plastic fencing and some zip ties...

Un achalandage accru de wagons plus tôt cet aprês-midi à l'île des Soeurs. It looks like peak headway testing but I'm only guessing.

More winter testing this morning...

On s'assure de bien remettre le couvercle avant de déplacer son cooler chest...

... et encore ce matin

Tant qu'a moi Banff ne devrait pas figurer parmi les meilleures 'villes', oui c'est une superbe destination, non ce n'est pas une ville.

Bien pensé tes rampes, sauf ton raccord boul. Bouchard-A20 ouest ca ira pas loin, t'es mieux de viser sur ton traffic autoroutier. En ce qui concerne les limites d'hauteur, tes tracés sont (plus ou moins) plus éloignés de l'approche du 06R que le Fairfield Marriott, alors pourvu que tes viaducs et leurs lampadaires ne dépassent pas la hauteur du Marriott, j'imagine qu'on est correct.

Excellent photos lma13, thanks!

Bien avant le Maestria, bien avant le Spectrum, du coté sud de Ste-Catherine se dressait... Le Club Montréal. Voici une photo prise lors d'une tournée au centre-ville il y a longtemps, 1981; désolé, dans ce temps le fait du soleil devant la lentille ca m'inquietait pas ben ben...

Et si on creusait un tunnel de (+ / -) René-Lévesque / Saint-Hubert pour ainsi rabattre sur la station Berri, d'ou la REM de l'est emprunterait l'axe du tunnel proposé pour l'extension de la ligne jaune vers McGill ? Certes, cela couterait cher en $%&!!* mais...

Parait que la construction du REM sur le tablier du pont s’achève peu a peu, et bien sur c'est grace à Denis...
