The funny thing is: all MR-63 and MR-73 are in fact Jeumont trains... The French company Jeumont made the motor controls for both types of trains. What we refer to as the "Jeumont train" as seen in this video is the prototype test train that was made by modifying a MR-63 to test the chopper circuit motor controls that would be eventually be used on the MR-73 (bodies built by Bombardier) This test train is sometimes referred to as being MR-71. A test train was also made for testing a Hitachi system, and ended up getting converted back to a regular MR-63 after Jeumont was selected. The final configuration ended up slightly different, where you only hear the 3 note sequence that's so familiar to Montreal Metro users (and the same notes are also used as the door chime, as a "signature"). Jeumont also made the yellow track circuit signal isolation boxes that you can see between the rails. Some of them have "JS" on the lid, for "Jeumont Schneider". About the "one of two three car sets": There was originally a full 9 car set (full length train) made with this chopper system. Montreal trains, except for the newer Azur trains, are made up of three "elements" consisting of two traction end units and an unpowered car in the middle. The Jeumont train driving cabs had unique controls and could not be used with the automation that was later introduced on the metro lines. It ended up in storage at the back of the Beaugrand garage. Then the techies came up with a way to put a Jeumont element in the middle, between two regular MR-63 elements, which could be operated the regular, automated way. Only two of the three Jeumont elements ended up getting reused that way, hence the existence of two three car sets in the middle of MR-63 trains.
What I like about the Montreal metro is that not a single bit of platform space is wasted. Cars span the whole length, so people can get on at any point on the platform without waking, saving boarding time
Those MR-63 jeumont motors sound really beautiful... I wish I was in Montreal to see them. But I went to Montreal in 2019, and those jeumont trains were retired in like 2017 or something...
Putain... ça fait du bien de voir ces métros-là en vidéo! Ça ne donne pas le même effet que d'en voir un en vrai, mais bon! Que peut-on y faire? Les MR63 ont maintenant pris leur retraite, les Azurs sont là pour les remplacer. Il y aussi des MR73 toujours utilisés aujourd'hui, mais ah... mon enfance a évolué surtout avec ces voitures-là, au bruit distinct quand ça accélère et quand ça ralentit, et la voix plutôt de bonne qualité et l'intérieur beige moche... héhéh! enfin bon! Je n'oublierais jamais à quel point ces wagons-là ont commencé l'évolution progressive du réseau de métro de la STM, et ils auront toujours une place dans mon coeur, comme les MR73 d'ailleurs! Phares rond ou phares carrés, ils avaient tous les deux leur place dans les tunnels! Très bonne vidéo les gars, ça fait remonter la nostalgie et les bon vieux souvenirs!

Nice you've got the loudest one!!! Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see more video from you in the Montreal Metro network. would be great to see also a video from you of the newest addition to the system, The Azur!
If I were 100% visually impaired and suddenly placed(Like a Star Trek beam me up experience!)in any of the metro stations of Montreal...I would automatically know where I am just because of that unique sound the trains make when they depart!!!...Love Montreal,I know the city so well and love to come back quite often!!!..
This It reminds me a lot to the model of train MP-82 a train of the Mexican Metro that go on operation in the line 8 of the Metro of Mexico City. Salute since Mexico City.

Real shame these trains aren't running anymore :( I suppose if they made the LGA Airtrain in New York a rubber-tyred system they could use these trains? You know, just refurbished with new features, like an LCD display and automated announcements.

You are right! Sadly, the Jeumont 41 was the first ever MR-63 scrapped for the Azur arrival, followed by 42.
@@MR-63hey are you the guy from the video "montreal metro cab ride on the entire orange line" ?
What I like about the Montreal metro is that not a single bit of platform space is wasted. Cars span the whole length, so people can get on at any point on the platform without waking, saving boarding time
except if your getting off at Villa-Maria, Plamondon, Guy-Concordia and Jarry stations. If you get off at those you need to walk a bit to the exit
The blue line use shorter trains,which do not cover the entire platform
Maybe this has changed now, idk

Due to Azur deliverys those 2 elements are now Retired. Elements 80-041, 80-042. As MR-73 Are now running on that line.

best sounding train in the world

are those tires?
Yep

+Pvttorreseleven just like Paris lol
Really? I take the Paris metro every day and I never see the tires :|
It's only on a few lines.
I liked the mr63 on start jeumont
Even better is that the door chimes sound like those motors!
The door chimes of the 73s is actually the sound they produce when they're leaving a station!
mr 73 3 tone version of the mr 63 5 tone
FYI the 73s actually have the full 5 tone on slow acceleration
Wilfred 04 Gaming yeah I'm already aware of that and what I meant at first is the door chimes! It plays only the 3 loud audible notes of the MR-73s!
