Origin of name

Montréal-Ouest takes its name from the Town of Montreal West, where half of the station is located. The other half is located in the city of Montreal (Cote-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grace borough)

History

The station opened on 14 April 1889, when the Canadian Pacific Railway's Windsor Station and its approach tracks came into service. Its original name was Montreal Junction, the second place to bear this name, because it was (as it still is today) the place where numerous CPR passenger lines came together near the Montreal terminal. The present Montreal-West station was built in 1905.

Until about the 1970s there were 4 tracks at the station. Track 1 (the southernmost track, closest to the station) was removed. In the 1980s the switch from North Junction into the station (track 4) was removed, but was reinstated in 1999 when the Blainville train line (now Blainville–Saint-Jérôme) started downtown service. It wasn't until 2003, however, that the Blainville line called at Montréal-Ouest.

Train services

  • Rigaud Line (later Dorion-Rigaud, now Vaudreuil-Hudson): (1889 - 1982 by CP, 1982 - 1996 by the STCUM, 1996 - present by the AMT)
  • Blainville (Sainte-Therese) Line (now Blainville-Saint-Jérôme): (1951 - 1980, 1999 - present, by the AMT) (until 1951 mostly ran from Place Viger)
  • Delson (Farnham) Line (later Delson and Delson-Candiac, now Candiac): (1889 - 1980, 2001 - present, by the AMT)

Most trains on these lines ran from Place Viger until it closed on 31 May 1951. They served Montreal-West only when their terminal was Windsor Station -- a few trains until June 1951, all of them thereafter.
