ᴴᴰ Riding on Montreal Metro Element 41 with Jeumont Propulsion

[@bnywtrains9482]

I honestly love the sound of the propulsion systems on these trains.

[@Mooseguy15]

BNYWTrains Its really too bad that they are planning to retire the majority of MR-63s this year with the arrival of the Azur, hopefully the last ones standing are the element 41 and 42 trains, really the most iconic sounds of the STM metro system. But if I am not mistaking a lot of the current MR-73s on the Blue/Orange line will be making their way over to the green/yellow line as there is a way higher vandalism rate on the green line especially, I dont think they would be caught dead putting new trains on the green line.

[@TramBusAl]

Well in fact the Jeumont trains were the first to get retired :(

[@marcleslac2413]

But i hope that when its the mr-73’s turn i hope they take the sound into count since its the door chime

[@Syllacrostics]

once i rode on this car to the end of the line just to enjoy the sounds.

[@lewisdsd]

Mexico City's Metro used to have trains that sounded like that, the MP-82 built by Alstom. But they upgraded the traction systems and they don't sound like that anymore

[@DJHTransport]

+Metrini Naranjoide That's a shame. There isn't a lot of rolling stock left that uses 1980s era DC chopper technology.

[@WhitewalkerII]

+Dj Hammers Les MP 89 font aussi du bruit mais beaucoup moins marqué. Pas les MP 05 par contre. Mais bon la vraie légende des trains bruyants à Paris ce sont les MS 61 et les MF 67 A2 qui vont bientôt disparaître définitivement.

[@MarkBustos2]

México City Subway's MP-82 used to have the same chopper propulsion as this train before it's original manufacturer ALSTOM puts a newer chopper propulsion on the MP-82, MP-68 & NM-73.

[@thaik56]

Man these are definitely prototype Jeumont choppers, one can even hear them when it slows down. I will definitely pay a lot more attention, if I have the opportunity, I dont take the metro often and the azur is coming in two days. I kind feel nostalgic even though I didn't felt any previous attachement to the metro.

[@DJHTransport]

+thaik56 Yup! I'm really glad I caught this train when I did.

[@wilfstor3078]

Lionel-Grouix i only have been on the metro once and it was from this station and happily the only mr-63s I saw where Jeumont propulsion

[@owenpinkham2105]

Wilfred 04 Gaming cool

[@AG7-MTM]

I wish thesw trains had been kept for regular service as heritage units

[@davidng2336]

Sounds a bit like Fanfare of the Common Man by Aaron Copland.

[@Technet9090]

It is actually from that sound!

[@nasanierulastname2997]

These remind me of the JR East E501 series or the drive on several Keikyu units.

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Cool! I love good timing!

[@adamdion7574]

When did you catch it? was it at rush hour..?

[@DJHTransport]

+Adam Dion This was around 6pm or so

[@eric.j.24]

@@DJHTransport Are MR63 train with Jeumont motors rare?

[@jeffcullen6573]

@@eric.j.24 There were 3 made. 2 stayed in service until 2017, along with the retirement of the entire MR-63 fleet.

[@LeGentleman1984]

J'aime beaucoup ton vidéo! :)

[@bnywtrains9482]

Je suis d'accord.

[@shaferkam3907]

Is it rubber tires?

[@gandalf7292]

MTA R68 Fan yeah, MP means "Matériel Pneumatique" ( Rubber-tyred Stock )

[@SkyOfTheUniverse]

Great video

[@ВячеславНесынов]

веселый тиристорный преобразователь :)

Moi je suis monté une fois dans la rame de métro MR63 en 2008 lors de mon voyage au Canada. Mais à Paris ma rame de métro préférée est le MP 59. Pour créer cette rame de métro pour la ville de Montréal ils se sont inspiré du MP59 d'après Wikipedia. Mais le son de cette rame qui fait "doudoudou" me fait penser à un son de violon électronique, à l'arrêt comme au démarrage.

[@nic287]

C'est actuellement le hacheur de courant qui fait ce bruit là.

[@WhitewalkerII]

C'est tellement con de les envoyer à la ferraille. A Paris c'est pareil. Mais on a un peu plus de chance puisque les derniers MF 67 vont sûrement rester jusqu'en 2028 (les 2/3 sont déjà passés à la poubelle ceci dit)

[@DJHTransport]

+WhitewalkerII Est-ce que la STM va garder le train de jeumont?

[@WhitewalkerII]

Dj Hammers Aucune idée je suis parisien je connais pas assez la STM. Mais j'espère qu'ils le feront.

[@adamdion7574]

+Dj Hammers la STM prévoit commencer à se débarrasser des MR-63 à partir de juin de cette année, pour faire de la place aux nouveaux AZUR.. bad move to my opinion

[@awersomeplaneguy9999]

Elements 41 and 42, were the first to be scrapped as they we’re the most unreliable and they could only be operated in the middle of the train.

[@metrobert]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ_Yqn1tZt6ZqdU nuestros MP-82 también solian hacer ese sonido al traccionar.

What line is this?

[@pipm9644]

I think it's the orange, but I don't live in Montréal

[@thereal_turtle]

Green line. I don't live in Montréal either, but the MR-63/Jeumonts service the Green Line, and not the Orange.

[@pipm9644]

I'm not a Montréal expert, so good for you

[@whoami4632]

is the green line ps: i am living there

[@antoyne82allairo88]

I miss mr63

[@greninjafr2189]

Je suis de Paris et cette rame a de gros critique déjà le démarrage est super bizarre et pour les porte on entend pas là sonnette pour signaler la fermeture des portes

[@antoyne82allairo88]

Montréal nest pas pareil que Paris. Les mr 63 sont arriver a montreal en 1965 et nous sommes arriver en 2018 et cela na servi a rien de mettre un signal de fermeture des Portes.
