    Came to watch this video for the nostalgia, I was commuting in Montreal at that time and loved the variety of cars and locomotives on AMT, the newer EXO trains are comfortable but they don't have nearly as much character

    Hello Dave. Commuter's on tape unless I have miss calculated on u-tube fright 87% the rest commuter's and other. Nice to see the local trains. No doubt you can recall on your visits over here only 6 to 10 miles separate our commuter stops. Thanks for videos shots.

      stan tout I think the distance between stations depends a lot on population density and geography!

      Kyle Tourneur This train only operates in Montreal! G&W's CBNS runs a train through New Glasgow four or five days a week but I am not sure when - I think it varies as traffic demands.

      DaSchwab21 Remember that the next station is the terminus and that there is no freight traffic so trains are light and speeds are relatively low.

      peter forden To provide electricity to heat the cars. The locomotive was built as a freight locomotive for CN
