So it looks like Montreal's REM is supposed to open "before summer".

Quote:The trains were not being tested during the recent ice storm, but Andlauer said that episode did not cause any issues on the REM’s infrastructure. The network has a system that removes ice from overhead wires, he added.

“We are very comfortable after two winters of testing these trains,” Andlauer said.

From a Montreal Gazette story about it. https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...-train-faq

We'll see next winter I guess!
