Artists and architects are among those who will receive decommissioned Montreal Metro carriages. In celebration of the metro's 50th birthday, the Société de transport de Montreal (STM) put up some of its first-generation MR-63 cars for sale at the price of CAD750-1,000 ($584-$778), along with a CAD$4,000 shipping fee. And for a limited time its first-generation “MR-63” cars were available to buy for the bargain price of C$C750–1,000 (£445-£593), along with a C$4000 (£2,370) shipping fee. The first train to run on the new line was in May 1967, but it wasn't until December that service began between Lachine and Montreal. Winning projects include an art installation made up of 16 sets of sliding doors and a community centre built from multiple carriages stacked on top of each other.
