Montreal exo new CRRC multilevels
Posted by GojiMet86 on Sat Feb 5 12:23:01 2022 https://www.railwayage.com/passenger/commuterregional/first-look-montreals-crrc-multilevels/ First Look: Montreal’s CRRC Multilevels Written by Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor February 03, 2022 Early this month, CRRC will deliver the first two of 44 multilevel railcars to exo, Montreal’s regional/commuter rail and bus system. The agency—officially known as Réseau de Transport Métropolitain, or RTM—placed a 24-car order with CRRC in 2017 and exercised an option for an additional 20 in 2019. Included are eight cab cars and 36 trailer cars. The total order is valued at nearly C$196 million; funding was provided by the government of Québec through the Programme d’aide gouvernementale au transport collectif des personnes (PAGTCP). The new multilevels, which can accommodate up to 147 seated riders, will modernize the exo fleet and run first on the exo2 Saint-Jérôme line. They “have been adapted to exo’s needs through a collaboration between the project team and the manufacturer, CRRC,” the agency reported. “This substantial order has also enabled a dozen Canadian suppliers, including eight from Quebec, to build and develop partnerships with CRRC. More than 28% of the content in the cars is local.” The first two multilevels will be delivered to exo’s Pointe-Saint-Charles maintenance center, where they will undergo “minor finishing work and assessment,” including complete mechanical safety checks and static tests. In the coming months, the cars will put through dynamic testing on the network as well as brake tests. Exo said it expects to receive 32 more cars over the course of the year. Those cars, plus the initial two, are slated to enter service in early 2023. The final 10 are “undergoing final adjustments to be accessible to passengers with reduced mobility,” exo said; they will be delivered at a later date, with service expected in 2024. Delivery had been scheduled to begin in June 2019, but was delayed “due mainly to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as technical adjustments to the cars and increased local content,” exo reported. “Throughout the project, we’ve worked very closely with the supplier to design the cars,” said Michael Émond, Director, Maintenance and Rolling Stock Project Management at exo. “Our maintenance teams are in place to complete the necessary tests and assessment to put the cars into service. The result is very high-quality cars that are specifically designed to meet our needs, giving our customers an exceptional, state-of-the-art travel experience.”

No more NJT style knockoffs. They cant use their inner high level doors anywhere except Montreal Central. My guess is they will retire their Comet-like coaches, which have longitudinal seating on one side of the car.

Shows more about your thinking than mine, particularly that being fed garbage must be regarded as "positive". Have you always thought this way?

What is the power source? Are there trap doors for Gare Central? Yes, but their existence is only implied. Do the double set of horns bilingual warnings? Thanks

(What a waste of public money vs. keeping Windsor.) Power source? Diesel-electric, since they're push-pull cars.

They are not allowed to test the horn in the early morning hours out in the suburbs when they start up for the day. Gare Central has high level platforms. Pre MLV-legacy cars do not have traps and cannot run there.

And what is asshole-ish about criticizing the former AMT over one of the worst name changes possibly in human history and buying railcars from a genocidal regime rather than a native company? This oughta be good . . .

Keep pushing
