MR-90
The MR-90 represents a series of single-level electric multiple unit (EMU) trainsets constructed between 1994 and 1995 by Bombardier Transportation for the Société de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine de Montréal (STCUM), which later came under the operation of Exo. These railcars were introduced as part of the comprehensive refurbishment of the Deux-Montagnes line carried out from 1993 to 1995, a project that entailed a full replacement of rolling stock and infrastructure.
After the Deux-Montagnes line ceased operations on December 31, 2020, in connection with the development of the Réseau express métropolitain system, the MR-90 units were officially withdrawn from service. Subsequently, they were transferred to Exo's maintenance facility located in Pointe-Saint-Charles for storage purposes. Exo initiated a request for information to explore potential purchasers or determine alternative futures for these vehicles. In 2022, it was revealed that the majority of the MR-90 fleet would be dismantled. Nonetheless, one married set—comprising motor car 400 and trailer with cab 485—was retained and is now part of the collection at the Canadian Railway Museum in Saint-Constant.
