Streetfilms® | Montreal's Magnificent REM Light Metro Montage (Metropolitan Express Network) @StreetfilmsCommunity | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
So while on vacation in Montreal we naturally were drawn to ride the new REM (Réseau express métropolitain) metro line that opened its first five stations last month (21 more under construction!). It was glorious. Beautiful. Definitely one of the best skyline views of a city from a transit perspective and also to see train yards below for many Canadian companies. I really wasn't planning on posting anything, didn't even bring my camera for the ride. But did have my iPhone and figured I would be getting some photos and a few clips of video. However, I was unprepared for how spectacular it would be.
When I got back to the hotel I watched a half dozen popular REM videos and most had the same vibe: stick a camera in the front window and watch the real time station travel loop. Not saying that is a bad thing, it's certainly cool to watch that unadulterated, uninterrupted travel. But looking at my own small compilation of shots I thought there lacked much variety, artistry and really getting see what you saw out the windows.
So I decided to make my own in the end with a musical montage tribute to Montreal's REM. I hope you like it.
