Bus route 23 in Yellow (supposed color STM uses for Shuttles). This stop located on Saint-Jacques St. in NDG in front of Loblaws. Bus route 21 in Yellow (supposed color STM uses for Shuttles). This stop located across from Snowdon metro station. Awesome pic of 23/104 stop with 6 light traffic light corner Sherbrooke and Cavendish SPS sign panel Here's an old 505 STCUM days sign (even before they put STCUM on it in which case they only used to put the STM's logo) displaying that when the R-BUS lane (reserved bus lane, opposite of traffic) is down on Pie-IX that it becomes Here is a giant Here is another old STCUM bus stop panel displaying in RED the 935 Trainbus Du Parc which provides service to and from Parc commuter train station to Downtown via Parc Av. The STM is currently replacing all of these signs with the new STM panels which will unfortunately display the 935 in the GREEN Trainbus color and is no longer using RED anymore. Therefore enjoy this photo and this part of History! Here is a old STCUM days sign over the escalator of the Saint-Hubert street entrance of Jean-Talon Metro station indicating that the ticket booth at this entrance is unmanned and that only Reg. fares are excepted with the exception of a reduced fare bus pass. It also indicates that no tickets are sold at this location nor any tourists passes and not to come into this entrance with children under 6 years of age or with any huge parcels for the entrance below will be automated sliding gates and not actual turnstiles.

]]> Wed Dec 28 2005 The Montreal Metro http://metromtlsphotos.fotopic.net/c814430.html A few Views of the Underground Sunday 25 December 2005: A few Views of the Underground

View of the vehicle departing Guy-Concordia as people stand bewildered and amazed at what just went roaring by. View of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle entering Guy-Concordia station late on a Friday night pushing a Flatbed in front of it with something on it. View from above of a train waiting at Peel station for a depart signal. View of the Saint-Hubert street entrance/exit at Jean-Talon station. This is one of only four unmanned and totally automated metro entrance/exits. Instead of turnstiles they use an automated entrance/exit with sliding doors as well there is a set of emergency exit doors and a phone to call for help at the ticket takers booth View of Namur, Platform, tracks, and menzanine, and turnstiles from a ventilation shaft above. (middle staircase) Peek a boo! I see u!! View of what's under the double seats of a MR 63. Some have fire extinguisers and some dont like this one. There is a lever there to unlock the doors in an emergency, they can then be pried open manually. View of Jolicoeur station platform This is a photo of the lower level of Snowdon station after the last train of the night has departed on the Blue line toward Saint-Michel at 12:15am. Afterwards they usually close off access to the platform as shown here. view of way side signalling, this from Jolicoeur station looking toward Verdun Here is a view of the only non standardized station direction information in the network at Snowdon station. As u can see that due to this situation the signs have never been replaced and u can see that Berri-De-Montigny station is still marked on this sign, meanwhile the station is now called Berri-UQAM and has been for over a decade now. So this photo does have lots of historic value to it. This is a view of the side of the tunnel wall Between Jolicoeur and Verdun stations just outside of Jolicoeur station View of Jolicoeur station platform at night This is a picture of a fire extinguiser located under the double seats of an MR 63! Some people or possibly the STM maintenance workers themselves seem to use it as a garbage can for old newspapers and other things. I would find it surprising if only the passengers did this since its extremely rare where i see someone opening it up period! Let alone throwing garbage in there! Here is a giant I-POD ad located on the Honore-Beaugrand platform at Berri-UQAM station A train sits parked for the night and shut off on the Honore-Beaugrand platform at Angrignon station late Saturday night. Another view of a train parked and out of service late Saturday night at Angrignon on the Honore-Beaugrand platform. (approx. 1:30am) The Changeur's (ticket agents) booth at Angrignon station late Saturday night (it is closed for the night) Picture of the Turnstiles at Angrignon station which are all locked for the night and wont accept any fares. Close up view of the top of a pass accepting Turnstile at Angrignon station View of train entering Angrignon station after switching tracks View of a train entering Angrignon station from the Tail tracks as Out Of Service and is about to DeadHead to either Youville or Beaugrand's garage for more major work. (This is kind of a rare scene!) View of the same train going through Angrignon Deadheading to another Garage View of Angrignon's end platform near Tail Tracks Aboard a MR 73 at Longueuil-Universite-De-Sherbrooke station looking toward the network's only platform level turnstiles J' arrive!!! Tenez-Vous Bien!!(We're coming!! Hold on Tight!!) ad campaign the STM launched to promote and show off their 3 pronged metro poles Berri's western tracks Berri-UQAM station looking toward Saint-Laurent station Departing MR 63 at Berri-UQAM station Arriving MR 63 at Berri-UQAM station late Christmas eve, on the Green line, Angrignon platform (sorry the date in the photo is wrong) An MR 63 shutting off and Restarting at Angrignon station (westernmost terminus) A View of Saint-Michel's Tail Tracks Prototype A, View from above the seats Prototype A seating, 5 seats on each side, no oeverhead grab bars. Snowdon's main art display Another View of the new panels Snowdon is slowly re-installing their beautiful artwork which is now behind a beautiful layer of glass which actually makes it look even nicer in person! This is a new Sign which popped up at Snowdon which displays the station name on the inner side of the platform! Also, there is a panel that appears to be removable and appears in the exact shape of some sort of screen! Possibly this will be for the new screens which need to be installed on the entire Orange line (Henri-Bourassa side at least) which will display when the train is coming, the time, and what the final destination of the train will be! Whether Henri-Bourassa or Montmorency in Laval! View of the tunnel from Namur (Cote-Vertu platform) looking towards Plamondon station Temporary people rushing past the the changeurs booth at Sauve new changeurs booth at Sauve station, rear view The new Changeurs (ticket takers) booth at Sauve station (Notice how u have to Zig Zag through the bars after paying the ticket taker to get to the first turnstile!! Pretty weird! New Changeurs booth at Sauve station, rear side view Sauve's platform corridor! Enter the clusterphobic maze!! Sauvé station platform Another View of a typically very crowded Henri-Bourassa platform at Berri-UQAM station train arriving at typically crowded Henri-Bourassa platform at Berri-UQAM station view of tunnel at Lionel_groulx Angrignon platform looking toward Charlevoix
