2-8-2 Mike Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hello all, being that the old forum is gone, I'd like to bring back this idea, for anything that has been proposed by the AMT or for any Ideas that come to mind that they hadn't thought of. Have fun to discuss. Id like to restart the Mascouche train line discussion. New Jersey tranist has announced that they are also thinking of getting dual mode locos with overhead electical collection. Maybe the AMT will buy into the order if it ever gets placed...

2-8-2 Mike Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Would anyone know whatever happend to the idea of extending the Delson line all the way to St-Jean? Was this idea shelved or just never seriously intended to happen? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj.surf.lfs Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Sounds weird, but doesn't SURF seem a little bit similar to YRT? And trains to Chateauguay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about focussing on extending the Metro Blue and Yellow Lines instead where a sizable portion of the population has needed upgraded service for at least the past 20 years?

dj.surf.lfs Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wouldn't it be nice if there were BRT in Longueuil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80-040_Guy-Concordia Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wouldn't it be nice if there were BRT in Longueuil? A direct bus line to MTL or in Longueuil? The RTL has quite a few routes that do the exact thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj.surf.lfs Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 A direct bus line to MTL or TCV? The 45 does that job very well to me. No, I meant BRT lines within Longueuil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2-8-2 Mike Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 No, I meant BRT lines within Longueuil. If the bus lane were on Taschereau Blvd were to be extended the entire length a BRT line between Panama and Longueuil Terminii would be great... as well perhaps one along Roland Therrien out to the St-Hubert Aeroport. I like the Idea. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esterel01 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 The AMT has just posted today a request for proposals for the environmental feasibility study for the Repentigny train. Only the French version is available now, but look at page 9 for a map of the four possible routes being considered between the CNR track in Repentigny and the CPR track in Mascouche. http://www.amt.qc.ca/docs/appel/DA9708_DEV01.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esterel01 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 AMT has just posted a rfp for dual-mode engines, jointly with New Jersey Transit. The document is available in English on the AMT site: http://www.amt.qc.ca/docs/appel/DDP07-162_en.pdf Negociations will be done jointly (and lead by NJT), but it should result in two separate contracts. The total number of units is 31 engines for the first phase, and eventualy 48 more. Five are said to be reserved for the Repentigny-Mascouche line.
