Thanks for Watching!Chateauguay River Ice Breaking Operation - March 17th, 2021MysticMTL2021-03-17 | La "Grenouille" or the "frog" makes it appearance again this year on the Chateauguay River to help break up the ice before it floods nearby residences. This modified boat contains a shovel, balance pontoons, steel anchor beams, diesel engines and reinforced hull to help crush and move the ice along the river. This year the water levels were much lower than normal, so risk of flooding was minimal, but it's best not to take any chances when the situation can change with one rainfall.
I hope you enjoy this video, and thanks for watching!Montreal Metro - Riding on the Green Line Aboard the Azur (with Trouble on the Yellow Line)MysticMTL2020-05-05 | Taking a ride home on the Montreal Metro aboard an Azur train on the Green Line with few people onboard at this time of night, but something was happening on the Yellow Line with constant announcements being broadcast throughout the entire ride.
Usually I try and ride the older rolling stock, but this was later at night an departures were quite far apart, and I wasn't sure when the next MR-73 was due. It was a pretty smooth ride, however, and it was interesting to look down the entire train from the first car with almost nobody aboard.
Note: I filmed this before the confinement. At the time of the upload, it's not recommended you travel anywhere, unless absolutely necessary.TransitFan.COM Charters - 1982 GM New Look Bus #8202 - An Evening Ride in Trois RivieresMysticMTL2020-04-29 | From the TransitFan Archives join us on this ride aboard a 1982 GM New Look bus with an amazing Detroit Diesel 6V71 wide open on the highways as we ride through the town of Trois-Rivieres, Quebec.Chateauguay River Ice Breaking Operation - March 11th, 2020MysticMTL2020-03-11 | Spring will be here soon, and to many it also means the time when water levels will climb and occasionally cause flooding. For the last several years the city of Chateauguay has taken the preemptive approach and began to break up the ice early before it caused a dam of ice on the water which could overflow. Here is one of the boats hard at work breaking up the ice and helping to send it down the river. Another piece of equipment that they also use is called "The Frog", which has several shovel extensions floating on a barge of sorts. It was not being used at this time though. When I do see it in action I will be sure to capture a video of it as well. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy this video!Florida Visit - Orlando Airport (MCO) People Mover Ride & Bonus Photo AlbumMysticMTL2020-02-27 | We just arrived at the Orlando International Airport (MCO) and our first experience is to ride the "People Mover", not the Disney World ride, but the shuttle train from the International Terminal building to the main airport building.

Here's some background on this bus.

Unfortunately the elevators were acting up and it took several minutes to get one of the 3 elevators to pick us up on the main floor after it kept going down the basement every time we pushed the button. On our way up it stopped on the 2nd floor for some reason, and then creaked and shook its way up to the 9th floor where it failed to level properly and I almost tripped on my way out. Our elevator operator today, Bob, is famous for his commentary in previous "TransitFan Minute" videos once again takes the helm and gives his two cents in regards to our ride to the 9th floor.

And they need your help. A new Crowdfunding page was started asking for your hard earned money, in the neighborhood of $2 Million, to publish this game. After the negative response of Atari's previous attempt with RollerCoaster Tycoon World, I'm also surprised that they are inviting the company Nvizzio back to the helm to create this game. They are a good company, so I can only imagine that it's Atari that was holding them back or creating the roadblocks that caused their last title RCTW to be such a disappointment.

I saw this Canada Steamship Lines bulk carrier pass through along the St-Lawrence heading towards Montreal.
Here are a few details about this particular ship from the wiki:
Pineglen is a bulk carrier owned and operated by Canada Steamship Lines. She was built at the Collingwood Shipyards, in Collingwood, Ontario in 1985, to a single superstructure lake freighter design. Initially named Paterson, the vessel was sold to Canada Steamship Lines in 2002 and renamed to Pineglen. Unlike more modern lake freighters she was built to a "straight-deck" design – i.e. she was not equipped with a self-unloading
The Pineglen usually carries Grain and Iron Ore.
Pineglen is a bulk carrier that is 20,370 gross register tons (GRT) and 32,713 long tons deadweight (DWT). The vessel is 224.5 metres (736 ft 7 in) long overall and 218.5 metres (716 ft 10 in) long between perpendiculars and has a beam of 23.2 metres (76 ft 1 in).[2] The ship has a maximum draught of 8.8 metres (28 ft 10 in). The vessel has four holds with a net capacity of 42,169 cubic metres (1,489,200 cu ft).[3] She is powered by a single diesel engine, which drives a single variable pitch propeller, which can propel the ship at 13.5 knots (25.0 km/h; 15.5 mph).Walt Disney World - Epcot World Showcase - Fun & EntertainmentMysticMTL2018-01-19 | Welcome to the Walt Disney World Epcot World Showcase!

I tried my best to share the sounds and vibrations that this truck made, and sadly I couldn't send over the diesel smells that went along with it. This 1959 Ford C Series Thibault (now Nova Quintech) with Detroit Diesel straight pipe was one of those amazing experiences. Such a great looking and sounding truck. Going on 60 years and still in active service. The town of Beauharnois, and it's fire department have kept this truck running and looking it's best, and I hope they keep it for many years to come. (Mileage last checked had less than 25,000km's).

The Bonaventure Expressway opened just prior to Expo '67 in April of 1967. 40 years later, this portion was taken down and replaced with an urban boulevard, and a large park space in the middle.
Several works of art along with playground equipment are displayed here, along with a set of stairs that let you observe the new surroundings and offer an exceptional view for transit enthusiasts who enjoy bus and train watching.
It's also a little bittersweet seeing the old with the new. There was so much history in Griffintown, and about 90% of the area has been transformed into new condo housing and multi-national chain stores and restaurants. There is still a portion of the local charm that remains, such as New City Gas, reportedly was the oldest Power Plant in North America, which is frequently threatened by new developments, including a new light rail train line that wanted to bulldoze its way through.
I hope you enjoy this short panoramic video that I filmed during early rush hour one afternoon. And there is so much more of this historic area to see. If you enjoy these types of videos let me know and I will be glad to bring you more.
