Montrain -- Montreal Public Transit Discussion List
About Montrain	English (USA) French
The montrain list was created to provide an easy forum for those wishing to share information and discuss the unfolding saga of the refurbishment of the Montreal-Deux Montagnes commuter rail line. With the refurbishing completed and the line running smoothly the discussion on the list has expanded somewhat as often points about the Deux-Montagnes train line reminded subscribers of other Montreal Transit issues. With that in mind let me offer a few guidelines about what this list covers. Urban transit in Montreal, means busses, trains, streetcars, commuter trains, highway planning etc. and those things directly related to them. Since we are all railfans here, the odd incursion into intercity rail traffic is fine, but make sure one end of the line is in Montreal. Many topics have urban transit aspects or influence to them which is fine, if you go off on a tangent make sure we know where the relation- ship is. If it isn't related, but you feel you must put it to the list, keep it short, explain why you are putting it to the list and ask that followup be made by e-mail. Since we are all freinds, there isn't any need for flames so try to keep things polite and clean. Any messages containing offensive, profane or obscene language will simply be deleted without further comment - regardless of the context. Oh yes, it helps us all if you sign your messages. E-mail addresses can be pretty cryptic and its helpful to know who you are. Not everybody reading the list knows who all of the subscribers are.
