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.

A scene from a few weeks ago: Passengers at Lionel-Groulx métro station in Montreal alight and board a train on the green line made up of MR-63 rolling stock.

Some public art built into the walls of the New York City subway. From a visit to the Big Apple way back in February 2011.

Oberbaumbrücke, which crosses the Spree River in Berlin, is a bridge for private vehicular traffic and trains to/from the Warschauer Straße station at the eastern end of the U-Bahn’s Line 1. This photo was snapped on a gorgeous afternoon this past September.

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.

A follow-up to yesterday’s photo: This is at 66 St. Subway station in New York. Lots of beautiful ceramic art adorn the station walls — not just at that station but throughout all the underground parts of the network.
