MONTREAL — Exo, the Montreal-area commuter rail operator officially known as Réseau de transport metropolitan, will retire its remaining single-level passenger cars, 24 Bombardier-built 700-series cars similar to NJ Transit’s Comet II cars.
The cars are currently used only on the 15.9-mile, nine-station Candiac line, but Exo’s social media advisor informed railfans this week that if they wanted to get photos of the cars before they were retired they should do so “this week or early next week.”
The single-level cars, which date to 1989 and were refurbished between 2011 and 2013, will be replaced by Exo’s multilevel 3000-series cars, built by Bombardier between 2009 and 2011.
