Station : Viau

The original rolling stock of the Montreal metro, built by Canadian Vickers and dating back to 1966, still plies the tracks under that city’s streets. Here’s a train of such cars entering Viau station a few weekends ago.
These vehicles will be retired within a few years, when the Montreal Transit Corp. receives the first of a new fleet of new Metro cars, built by Bombardier and Alstom.

Sun where the sun normally don't shine

Champ-de-Mars métro station in Montreal was recently identified as one of most beautiful subway stations in the world. Surely, the wonderful panes of stained glass has something to do with it.

Il fait beau dans l'métro
