A night in the metro
Good piece by La Presse’s Henri Ouellette‑Vézina on the repair crews that spread out through the metro system at night to do crucial repairs that keep the system running. They only have between 1 and 5 am – if that – to reach their locations, do the work and get back to base. With a series of photos showing views and equipment the users never see – and an emphasis on how much maintenance the metro always needs.

Sometimes you can see these vehicles getting into place when you’re on the last metro outbound and it’s on the inbound track. With the huge backlog, I would not be surprised if we get more weekend partial shutdowns, such as the yellow line a few years ago and is common in Toronto, Boston, DC, Paris, etc.
