[Montreal] RARE: MR 63 Deadheading threw Villa Maria! /RARE: Passage d'un train MR-63 à Villa Maria!

[@MrFredpx]

I'm guessing it was going to the blue line cuz between Parc and De castlenau stations there's a track that leads to youville

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

+Mrfredpx Yeah I think you're right. That's still far though to deadhead! And I wonder where it's coming from

[@MrFredpx]

A few weeks ago I saw element 28 at Atwater while I was waiting for the Jeumont

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Cool! I haven't seen it in a long time!

[@rick14891]

Nice j'ai jamais vu ca avant ! A part quand il avait des MR-63 en service sur la ligne orange il y a quelque année !

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Éric V-Boulet Pour moi aussi je n'avait jamais vu cela avant! Tu sais ce que m'a dit Elton de retroolschool ? Il m'a dit que il croyait qu'il devait faire le service pour remplacer un MR-73 parce que il y a quelques mois d'un MR-73 remplacer un MR-63 sur la ligne Verte

[@rick14891]

oui il a déja eu un MR-73 sur la ligne verte qui a remplacer un MR-63 pendant quelque mois, mais sur ta vidéo on voit bien en haut du train c'est écris Angrignon en vert et c'est juste un train de 6 voitures et non 9 !

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

C'est vrais mais peut etre qu'il va sur la bleu

[@rick14891]

ou la jaune ... ou au garage du metro cote vertu aussi car a honoré beaugrand il a des trains MR-73 dans le garage Beaugrand !

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Non pas sur la ligne Jaune parce que c'est dans l'autre direction mais peut etre le garage Cote Vertu. Je ne sais pas par example si il allait sur la bleue

[@Transitfan93]

Guess they are doing that so it can go the garage, just a little surprised its deadheading thru Villa Maria, since I dont think there is a garage there

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Transitfan93 One stop down at Snowdon, there's a garage

[@Transitfan93]

No thats a tail track where the train would go from the Orange to Blue line, thats not officially a acknowledged as a garage according to this site metrodemontreal.com/installations/snowdon/index.html

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Transitfan93 Oh of course! Then I don't know

[@retroolschool]

Very rare catch dude!

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

retroolschool Yeah thanks! At first, I thought it was a vacuum cleaner. Then it started to get louder and I saw around the curve there were lights. So I was thinking well WHAT IS IT??? I thought it was a work train untill I realised that work trains don't have LED lights then it turned and I saw it was an MR-63! It obviously had its deadheading lights on. I became wild with excitement and RAN to the far side of the platform. I was surprised that it was a 6 car train but hey! It's still an MR-63.

[@trains4everMTL]

Bro I think they are doing tests for when the mr-73 leave the orange line

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Julian Mazzone Really? Because the MR-63's aren't coming on the Orange line.

[@MrFredpx]

+AMT RAILFAN The mr-63s are going to be retired in the next 3 years so it can't be tests that they're doing

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Mrfredpx Yes and also, the MR-63's are the ones being retired not the 73's so there would be no reason to test them on the Orange especially since the 63's have already been on the Orange.

[@TrueAnimate]

Am I the only one who noticed it had only six cars

[@trains4everMTL]

Cool

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Julian Mazzone OH!!! My heart's still beating.
