You really hit the jackpot at rush hour! That is my favourite spot also. Saint-Georges street is a good spot you get to see all of the head signals coming from the east.
+Dave Crisp Yes the UK loading gauge is much smaller - there are smaller clearances around bridges etc and sharper curves than on North American railroads
17:06 I don't think we would ever see VIA rail F40s in special sponsored liveries or yellow fronts again.. 20:32 nice ctahc of an AMT doubleheader! I think AMT retired all of their ex- Toronto GO cars!
All except for one car still stored in the Pointe-Saint-Charles Maintenance yard along with a string of Canadian Vickers bi-levels! You can technically still see them on Google map!
Find it very intriguing that you guys use low level platforms and not raised like we do here in Australia, certainly adds a level of danger into the mix between heavy machinery and people
David Othen They look like British passenger cars, much smaller outline than the Canadian ones. With your generous leading gauge, why would you use such small cars?
Crosshead1 They are British, they are converted British Rail Mk4 coaches originally built I believe to serve an overnight eurotunel service. That service was scrapped and Via bought the coaches, then converted them for use in Canada.
The fact that this 2008 video is better than any other footage of this Saint Lambert station today 😅

Damn!! I forgot that AMT used single level UTDC cars. So cool how they utilized them until the 2010's.
3:18 Amt has those too I saw them before

Nice to see a vintage Geep still pulling its weight...thanks for a great video!
Remember catching CN (yes CN) to Sherbrooke from there ca 1970. I lived in St Lambert 1959-62.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. It is fun making the videos. Should soon have some from Alberta.
Funny to see at 18:10 the size of the Canadian silver rolling stock to that of the green/yellow rolling stock, built for the UK loading gauge

NIR_Enthusiast #NIR50 They were mk4s built for the proposed but scrapped nightstar services to the continent
Great Video, Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome.
The good old days
Indeed. Too old to honest.

Cool video man
Nice video! Got anything with passenger trains in Saint John from the 80s
+Josh Eldridge Thanks for your kind comments.
Sorry I did not get my first videocamera until late 1991.
+David Othen ok thanks for replying though!
Didn't know amtrak was in Canada at saint Lambert very weird
I took that ride from Poughkeepsie NY to Montreal via Amtrak. My god was that a long ride. Should have just drove. Lol
Impressive

At least you don’t fall off them
Now that was cool
+Peter Womer Glad you liked it.
Those'er some nice lookin coaches
+JoeyLovesTrains (NorthShoreLine) The Renaissance coaches may look nice but they are not as comfortable as the old Budd coaches.
