Some contextually appropriate sticker art spotted somewhere in Montreal back in late 2014.

I can’t remember the context of this photo, which I snapped about six years ago, but I imagine it must have had something to do with the science centre at the Old Port of Montreal. No other explanation seems plausible.

The Montreal Transit Corp. (Société de transport de Montréal, or STM) recently began revenue service of its next-generation métro cars. Dubbed “Azur”, the STM’s MPM-10 rolling stock is being built by a Bombardier-Alstom consortium. The order is for 468 cars, assembled in nine-car train-sets.
As the newer-model trains are gradually delivered, they will replace vintage MR-63 rolling stock, in service since the Montreal métro opened in 1966.
I only got a brief glimpse of the new Azur train at the Mont-Royal métro station on my last trip to Montreal, on its second day of revenue service. Perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to ride one upon my next visit.

When I visit older cities, I love looking out for old painted signs and advertisements, much like this one in Old Montreal. This is something definitely hard to come by in Calgary, where many older buildings have vanished to make way for modern structures.
