In operation from 1887 à 1980, the Candiac line was re-opened in 2001 to mitigate traffic congestion caused by roadwork. Train service was progressively increased to respond to rapidly growing demand.
In 2005, the Candiac line was extended from Delson to Candiac, and made permanent in July 2009. Starting in downtown Montréal, this line crosses the St. Lawrence River to service the south-western region all the way to Candiac.
