Extension of useful life for MR-73 subway cars

completed

The project aims to rehabilitate the second generation of metro cars put into service in the early 1970s by implementing an ongoing major servicing schedule to maintain their reliability. The project will extend the useful life of these cars for another 20 years. More specifically, but without being limited to this list, the deliverables specifically planned as part of this project component that will be financed by the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund are as follows: - Repair of armatures and motor housing; - Supply of coupling machanisms for subway cars (Dellner); - Supply of various parts for the Montréal subway; - Acquisition of paint products for subway cars (Block 1); - Acquisition of motor-compressors (GMC) for MR-73 subway cars; - Supply of Alstom parts for the external junction box (BJX) system.
