REM Montreal, Canada: RHEDA CITY conquers the North American and Canadian market for the first time

RAILONE supplied the REM (Réseau Express Métropolitain) Montreal project in Canada with around 21,5000 sleepers of the RHEDA CITY D system as well as Jordan sleepers in the period from 2019-2024. As the system was designed with integrated derailment protection, both sleeper types were used. The design of the sleeper system was developed in accordance with European standards and AREMA's technical requirements. A comprehensive approval process was carried out for both the bi-block sleepers and the fastening system supplied. This makes the Montreal project referent the first RHEDA-City referent on the North American and Canadian market.
