The CN electric multiple units were a fleet of electric multiple unit (EMU) railcars built in 1952 by Canadian Car and Foundry (CCF) for the Canadian National Railway for use on the Deux-Montagnes line in Montreal. The cars remained in use until June 6, 1995 when the reconstruction started. The MR-90 entered service late in 1995. Several have been preserved.
