AMT has yet to add anything to their site.

See
<https://votrenouveau.amt.qc.ca/fr/actualites/projets/train-de-l-est>

I don't see the complete timetables as posted by Magder. But if
you click on each of the station names on the above page, the page
will expand to show the times for the inbound trains (those going to
Central Station). For outbound trains, it only shows the departure
times from Central, not the arrival times at the other stations.

An interesting point for mileage-collecting railfans is the existence
of reverse-direction trains at rush hours and a midday round trip.
On some commuter lines with infrequent service, it can be difficult
to collect the mileage unless you live at the suburban end of the
line. That won't be the case here.

Sorry tom, that page doesn't work for me -probably because I have Internet Explorer 8, running on a Windows XP computer that won't run any version of IE higher than 8. I'll try it in Firefox, I have 31.
