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.

This wall in the Charring Cross tube station in London speaks to you, in a manner of … speaking.

Seattle’s other underground scene

Beneath 111 Yesler in Seattle

Most people’s exposure to subterranean Seattle is limited to the transit tunnels downtown.
But just a few blocks toward the harbour, the Underground Tour takes you into that city’s first tunnels, intimately tied to Seattle’s history and development.
It’s a particular treat for history buffs and those who love urban decay.
Thanks to our guide Allie (below) for an informative and entertaining visit.

Hot Tube Time Machine

Here’s one of the static displays of old Tube cars at the London Transport Museum. Love the mannequins in period clothing.
