Inaugurated in 1918, the Deux-Montagnes line was completely renovated from 1992 to 1995. It is the only line in the region and the first in Canada to use electric cars, powered via a 25 kV catenary. It passes through the Mont-Royal tunnel on the way to Central Station, in downtown Montréal.
Originally created to service the new Town of Mount Royal suburb and freight trains from the Lower Laurentians, it has progressively served commuters from north-west Montréal. The RTM has operated the Deux-Montagnes line since 1996.
