The Candiac line is a commuter railway line in Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM), the agency that operates public transport services across this region.
The Candiac Line was originally operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) between 1887 and 1980. The former AMT resumed passenger service on this line in 2001, while the RTM assumed current service on June 1st, 2017.
There are 9 inbound and 9 outbound trains each weekday.[3]
Overview
This line links the Lucien-L'Allier station in downtown Montreal with Candiac, on Montreal's South Shore.
The line offers nine departures every weekday towards Montreal and nine return trips to Candiac every weekday. Most departures are during rush hour, but three are offered during off-peak hours in each direction.[3]
History
AMT service
The former Agence Métropolitaine de Transport (AMT) started service on this line September 4, 2001 with 2 round trips every day. One trainset was used for both departures. In September 2003, service was increased to 4 round trips per day and a second trainset was used. Service was extended to Candiac in 2005. In 2009, two additional departures were added in each direction with leased trainsets being used until new locomotives and rolling stock is received.
Service on the line was suspended from February 17, 2006 to March 9, 2006 after the derailment of 6 Canadian Pacific freight cars on February 17. The freight cars derailed on the Saint-Laurent Railway Bridge used by the train service. This was one of the longest disruptions in train service for the AMT. High winds were a factor in that derailment. In September 2013 CP banned AMT's multilevel coaches from the bridge during high wind conditions (85 km/h or more), deeming them potentially unstable in such conditions. Since then AMT has used only its single-level 700 series coaches on this line.
The line was renamed on July 1, 2010 from "Delson-Candiac" to simply "Candiac" to standardize formatting across the network.[4]
On January 16, 2017, a new station named Du Canal was opened in Lachine along Saint-Joseph Boulevard. This project was part of the MTQ's mitigation measures for the reconstruction of the Turcot interchange.
RTM service
On June 1st, 2017, the AMT was dissolved and replaced by two new governing bodies, the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) and the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM). The RTM took over all former AMT services, including this line.
Future projects
To improve service and attract new users on the Candiac line, the ARTM will carry out three major projects:[5]
- Improve railway infrastructure on the Adirondack/Lacolle subdivision. The $20-million project includes improving signaling, adding a siding for freight trains, refurbishing switches and improving pedestrian crossings. Work was scheduled to be completed by 2014.
- Build a new layover facility (overnight service and storage yard) at the end of the line. Construction is linked to the railway improvement project above.
