I saw one train passing on canal lachine this morning. Maybe it full branch testing this morning

[alik]

Trains are moving at Sunnybrooke, so definitely at least on A4! Not sure for A3

[mashdash]

I saw two car REM trains over the Champlain, but can’t confirm in TMR if there are any going into the tunnel

[twix24]

Seems to run faster than usual

[SameGuy]

Awesome!

REM Bois franc (20/04/25)

[SAMetropolis]

On dirait que les marches ont été refaites… Y a t’il un accès de service sur la clôture?

PS : faut croire qu’ils ont oublié de retirer l’ancien panneau de l’AMT.

[phildemontreal]

Really not noisy where there’s no concrete reverb.

[ComradeMark]

Oui les marches ont été refaites. Toutes les anciennes marches qui menaient à la gare Bois Franc vont donner accès à la station du REM.
Ils ont aussi refait le pont pour un accès sécuritaire aux piétons.

Le plan d’implantation annoté pour mettre en évidence l’escalier et l’accès à la station à partir de l’escalier.

I can confirm they were not testing further down than Montpellier. There’s currently tons of equipment on the tracks, with a big crane at Canora and multiple active NouvLR work trucks between CDL and Mount Royal. The railway is also unpowered (the green lights are on).
There seemed to be testing north of Du Ruisseau!

[tcardinalsirois]

Is there testing right now?

[ComradeMark]

Yup, saw some at Du Ruisseau

[ComradeMark]

Update: they’re testing alternate service patterns with trains terminating at the opposite platform at Bois Franc before going back north. They’re also testing in station announcements which you can hear from outside.

[mashdash]

Does it sound like the in station announcements announce where the train will go when arriving?

[SameGuy]

I don’t sit at the A40 segment all day, but I drive down that segment two to sometimes eight times a day. The lights are green pretty much all the time.

[tcardinalsirois]

Heading to Bois-Franc to see the trains.

EDIT • Getting on the 170 at 19:53 to check out the North entrance.

I’ve noticed in the evenings that the section crossing Saint-Charles is rarely (if ever) electrified, but I almost always see blue lights closer to Kirkland station.
