  1. Yes, that is just like the Metra Commuter cars in Chicago. Great catch.

  2. They were still in use in Montreal by the AMT till about 5 years ago….. they are currently stored.

  3. A total of nine ‘Gallery’ coaches (2 cab cars, 7 trailers) were constructed by Canadian Vickers Ltd. at their Montreal facility for Canadian Pacific in 1969. GO Transit borrowed several of the tall double deck cars for a number of weeks in 1974 to study in the development of their own bi-level coach which debuted in 1977. Compared to the Gallery layout, the full upper deck provided much greater capacity. Doubling the number of side doors addressed perceived slow loading/unloading of passengers during the study.
