Photo today from the pedestrian bridge between Côte-de-Liesse and Ville-de-Mont-Royal. I’m actually surprised the REM didn’t replace this bridge with a newer one that was also accessible, but I guess it would be TMR’s responsibility.
From a transit Discord server I’m on, someone on it allowed me to share their photos from today at the tunnel portal and Canora:

In preparation for the next phase of dynamic testing to test the systems and prepare the facilities for the REM commissioning, acoustic track grinding is planned between the Bois-Franc station area and Canora station. This work will take place one lane at a time at night, beginning on June 19, 2024 between 8:00 p.m. and 06:00 a.m. for approximately 15 days.
Grinding the track reduces rail roughness, thereby attenuating the noise associated with the passage of REM cars. The grinder - the equipment used to perform the grinding - will travel at a speed of around 30 km/h over the section, making between 10 and 12 round trips per night. Occasional noise impacts are to be expected.
The arrival of the REM cars may raise questions about the noise caused. In this regard:

C’est préventif ou ils savent déjà qu’il y a un problème avec les rails pour le bruit.
s’ils vont faire acoustic sur un troncont, ils doivent faire le system en entier.
Dans la réunion avec les residents de GT il ont dit que comme le meulage des rails ont démontrer une améliorations significatif du bruit, il vont le faire d’une façon préventive sur la totalité du réseau. Aussi un plan de maintenance de meulage serait mise en place. Les machine sont deja achetée…
