Ontario Northland has been awarded a contract to refurbish 24 rail cars for Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), a metropolitan government agency located in Montreal. The $8.69 million contract starts in November.
“We are extremely pleased with being awarded the AMT refurbishment contract,” said Paul Goulet, president and CEO of Ontario Northland. “This is a new client for our remanufacturing division and builds on the strength of our reputation for outstanding quality of work.”
Ontario Northland's refurbishment capabilities span from the complete disassembly of cars, to rebuilding them from the frame up and providing full painting services. The 150,000-square-foot facility includes 900 feet of exhausted, elevated service track, overhead cranes, a blacksmith and machine shop and two 125-foot paint shops.
AMT plans and develops public transit services in order to improve the efficiency of commuting in the greater Montreal area. It currently operates five train lines, 51 stations, one metropolitan express bus line, 61 park-and-ride lots, 16 metropolitan terminals and 85.2 km of reserved lanes. Annual ridership on AMT's commuter trains is close to 16 million trips.
