	273-R-2001 -- Application for a certificate of fitness to operate a commuter train service - Agence métropolitaine de ...
		AMT believes that CN is alone in opposing the application and states that the agreements in place recognize its status as the operator of a federal railway and assign certain specific activities to CN and CP as contractors.
		AMT is a person that wishes to obtain a certificate of fitness and once a railway system is subject to the legislative authority of Parliament and the person who is applying for the certificate of fitness provides the necessary proof of solvency, that person is entitled to obtain a certificate.
		AMT counters that it is the operator of the commuter train system and that it acts either directly as operator, or indirectly through contractors to whom by agreement it entrusts specific activities.

	Blainville Line (AMT) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blainville line is a commuter rail line operated in the Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada area, by the Agence métropolitaine de transport, or AMT, (in English, the "Metropolitan transportation agency"), the umbrella organization that plans, integrates, and coordinates public transportation services across this region.
		The Montreal/Blainville line was originally opened in July 1997 and was supposed to serve commuters during the construction on the Marius-Dufresne bridge.
		The Blainville line will be extended to Saint-Jérôme, with an intermediate station in Mirabel by the end of December 2006.

	Montreal a growing role for rail: Record ridership levels and a call for more services could result in C$3.4 billion ...
		AMT funding comes from farebox revenue, local municipalities, the provincial government, and road user license fees and fuel taxes; the provincial government funds new lines.
		AMT has broadened the study to include a 1.4-mile, two-station extension from Line 4's proposed new northern terminal at Berri-UQAM to McGill University.
		On the Deux Montagnes line, AMT is planning to extend double tracking to Roxboro, add two new stations, and acquire another 22 EMUs.

	236-R-1999 -- Noise complaint - Jean-Charles Dextras vs St. Lawrence & Hudson Railway Company Limited
		SLandH indicates that railway operations on the line are no different in their nature from those occurring elsewhere, that the track is adequate for the weight and volume of rail traffic and that maintenance work was done in the summer of 1998.
		The AMT notes that the success of this pilot project is dependent on ridership levels and on the cost of the service, and to minimize these costs, the AMT refurbished 20 used cars acquired by the ministère in 1994 and leased 3 F-40 locomotives from VIA Rail Canada Inc.
		The AMT notes that it is in the process of issuing a tender call for new or rebuilt locomotives to replace the F-7 units used on the Vaudreuil/Rigaud line, but replacement of the locomotives or railway infrastructure on the Blainville line was not under consideration in view of the duration of the pilot project.

		The line was nationalised and extended to Aki-Imuro in 1936, to Kake in 1954 and to Sandankyo in 1969.
		The line is eventually to extend 35km from Ridgefield in the north via Hoboken (on the shore of the Hudson river opposite New York City) and Jersey City to Bayonne in the south.
		At about km168 the present-day main freight line to the docks diverges from the original line to Sines, which is still in place, with its visibly lighter track seeming not totally out of use, though the PTG tour train of 31 January 2000 was barred from using it.

		Residents met with Pierre Leclaire, Director of Communications at CN to discuss their concerns, saying people are "crabby and cranky from loss of sleep" caused by the increasing number of late night trains.
		AMT is also adding trains to the McMasterville run, and adjusting timings on the Blainville service to conform more closely to riders' needs.
		The success of these commuter services on conventional rail lines has encouraged communities to the north and east of Montreal to push for their own similar services.

		Listeners will recall that the three-times weekly Atlantic frequencies were shifted to the northerly Ocean's line on the CN when short line startup problems (so-called) led to a political decision to strip Sherbrooke, Fredericton and St John, N.B. of all rail passenger service to the benefit of the Qubec South Shore and Northern New Brunswick.
		The AMT (Montral) has announced the frequency of the wildly successful, low-cost commuter train to Blainville will be doubled, from six departures to twelve.
		Lastly, Air Canada's 2100 pilots were threatening to strike, in part over the issue of having a relief pilot for flights of over ten hours, but after Air Canada promised to comply, withdrew their request for an injunction.

		There are other differences between CN and AMT: CN wants 50 cents per passenger km, the AMT says CP only charges 35 cents per passenger km on the Rigaud line.
		The Blainville line terminates nowhere near downtown, and the main link from avenue du Parc station to centretown is on a bus.
		This line is an excellent real-life model for the Ottawa light rail line, in my opinion.

		The company has said two rail lines are necessary to ensure the most competitive rates and uninterrupted service for the new plant.
		The line to be transferred extends from just west of Morris, Manitoba in a westward direction for 230 kilometres (144 miles), to the village of Elgin.
		The WPandYR served first as a passenger train and supply line for the Klondike gold fields of the Yukon, and later as a freight carrier for nearby lead and zinc mines, moving ores and concentrates to the port in Skagway.

	Bi-Levels Getting Refurbished?
		AMT is very short on equipment right now.
		The demand is so high on this line that AMT is even considering to electrify, buy new MR90 EMUs (like the ones actually in use on the Deux-Montagnes line) and reroute the trains to Central Station through the Mont Royal tunnel (already used by the Deux-Montagnes line trains).
		Given the increase on gas price, the low costs of electric power (once the catenary is in place, that is!), the fantastic performances and reliability of the MR90, as well as the decreased travel times which would result, electrification could well be the best solution.

		That's because Metro isn't a railway at all -- its four lines are actually guideways for the rubber tires that give the trains their remarkable shock absorbing quality.
		The interregional public transit system operates seven rail lines from downtown Toronto to Hamilton/Guelph in the west, Barrie to the north, and Newcastle in the east.

	Rawdon's Ten Railways
		It was announced (Montreal Gazette, March 22, 2003) that by the end of 2004 AMT (Agence Métropolitaine de Transport) will begin to run commuter trains on the former Canadian Pacific line from Mascouche to St. Martin Junction connecting with the Blainville commuter line to Park Avenue, Vendome, and Windsor Terminus (now Lucien l'Allier).
		It also appears that the line is in jeopardy in that it may be in competition with the proposed train to l'Assomption (see number 10 below).
		If the Mascouche line does become operational, perhaps one day a bus service will connect Rawdon with the Mascouche commuter trains and Rawdonites will be served by rail once more.

	Montreal Commuter Services
		The new improved rush hour service on the Dorion line is good news at last, but this cut is a bummer.
		I feel that AMT got squeezed by CP on this one, because the official reason given to cut evening service was that track space and time were needed for expanded freight capacity.
		At the same time, this is a way to reduce operating expenses for AMT; AMT's Dorion line ranks at the bottom of all four previous commuter lines for autosufficiency.
