Overview

The station was built on an existing CN railroad bridge, which also underwent partial reconstruction and structural reinforcement.

The station marks the transition between the electrified and non-electrified portions of the Mascouche line. Exo's ALP-45DP dual-mode electro-diesel locomotives transition from electric to diesel mode as they continue north along the line.

Future

Beginning in May 2020, most trips on the Mascouche line terminate at Ahuntsic station due to the ongoing conversion of the Deux-Montagnes line into the mainline of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) rapid transit system. Once the REM mainline is completed sometime in 2022, a new station called Côte-de-Liesse will open, expressly designed to ensure smooth transfer of users between the Mascouche line and the REM, and replacing Ahuntsic station as the line's new terminus.[3]
