The south shore leg of REM in Montreal

As I have blogged about already, here, here, and here, Montreal is updating its suburban commuter rail system with the new REM lines, which bring the service more inline with the efficiency and frequency of Montreal’s famous Metro subway.

Although the lines heading north and west out of the downtown core are still being built, the leg heading across the river to the south shore is complete and people seem impressed.

Here’s a video of the ride.

At about 8 minutes in, the train begins to cross the new Samuel de Champlain bridge.
