  1. 172 m AMSL? So that’s 141 m above street level?
  2. That only supposes a desire to replace, not a need. The original 1918 wagons and 1950s EMUs used on the DM line were in dire need of refurbishment late in life, but were still being used because they just worked.
  3. Bof. If exo6 DM were still operating, the MR-90s would’ve gotten refurbished and kept running another 25 years. Try again.
  4. And Alstom builds and sells all sorts of non-TGV in North America; in fact, they don’t really produce any TGV here at all! Even the Avelia Liberty — a member of the Avelia global family that includes medium- and high-speed trains — being built for Amtrak’s Acela in the NEC is only designed for service speeds up to 260 km/h on very short sections of the corridor. This design could easily be adapted for use on the TGF here, reaching near-TGV speeds in subdivisions that can accommodate it, and allowing the line to be updated over time to offer more and longer high-speed sections. Of course, without dedicated, electrified tracks on the island of Montreal, this is all moot.
  5. But only three times as old as the Renaissance cars in the first shot! 25 ans! Ça fait déjà presque trois ans sans trains sur l’exo6 Deux-Montagnes!
  6. The 1950s Budd railcars make for an interesting juxtaposition.
  7. Dans ce coin du C-V?? On n’a que besoin de mirroirs full-height dans l’gym.
  8. I think you’re right, the orange accents can’t be a fluke. It must be an homage to Ponto.
  9. Mais qu’est-ce qu’il dit, là? C’est comme avoir dit, « Pour l’Amérique du Nord, Toyota n’a que des VUS en production. Honda n’a pas de VUS… » Ok, ils en fabriqueront. Duh.
  10. That’s my feeling as well. The Waldorf concept was much more aesthetically pleasing overall. Money talks and bullshit walks, I guess. More gross square-footage in this fatso.
  11. Access isn’t really terrible, but getting out of the lot requires backtracking to the Canadian Tire or taking the back alley to Charles-E.-Frosst, unless Kirkland improves it.
  12. The old Brault & Martineau location owned by Broccolini on the northeast corner of the A-40 and boul St-Charles has been leased to Tesla as the location of their West Island sales and service centre. Partial demolition began this week. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/new-80000sqft-tesla-service-center-coming-soon-to-montreal-quebec/
  13. Lol that looks like a REM substation
  14. I must be trippin’… or is it just more economical to post the same image multiple times?
  15. Talk to Cedar Point, in Sandusky, Ohio. The closest large population centre is Cleveland, with 2 million people, over an hour away. Detroit’s 4.3 million people are more than two hours away by car. That doesn’t stop Cedar Point from being by far the best amusement park (for major rides) in North America.
  16. Les calèches n'y sont plus. The picture is imaginary on two levels. 😉 Also, that tram is on de la Commune, not the railway.
  17. Imagine if that was a tramway instead of a barely-used-but-somehow-still-deadly freight railway.
  18. At least now we know what they did with the remains of the original Olympic stadium roof…
  19. I don’t think that was very clear in the plans, did they raise the Stonehenge lintels by around 2 feet? For what purpose?
  20. Yes, me too, but the ratio changed.
  21. I mean… every building in Paris’ ultra-dense inner arrondissements looks substantially alike, and utterly gorgeous as a whole.
