I have not been able to find any pictures of the MU's on this line. I heard they have an interesting door setup. Could someone provide me with pics?

The MU in question is called the Bombardier MR-90. The end doors are for low platforms only and are plug doors; the center doors are for high platforms only and are sliding doors. Here's 408 in the lead on a train at Mont Royal. The MR-90 replaced these CN MUs, and also heavyweight trailer cars hauled by these boxcabs from 1914 that were retired in 1995 (81-year service life, yes).

It's 25kV 60Hz. It was upgraded from DC catenary wire (3kV DC before AC upgrade; 2400V DC originally). Kinda reminds me of NJT's upgrade of the Hoboken Division's catenary system. This page has a whole history of the line...
