Happy Friday! I haven’t done any kind of train/transit video in a very long time … so here you are. This is a mix of original (MR-63), vintage (MR-73) and modern (MPM-10) rolling stock running on the Montreal métro, as captured at a few stations last month.

Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A view of downtown Montreal from my old stomping grounds, Concordia University — except the place where I snapped this shot, the EV building (Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex), didn’t exist when I studied there.

This home in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood sure has a way of standing out. Snapped earlier this week.
