The Line
The line was double-track throughout, except for a single-track section at Cité du Havre, where people exited on one side of the train and boarded on the other.
When the terminus was cut back to Île Sainte-Hélène in 1968, it was single-tracked as well.
The line was dismantled north of Île-Notre-Dame in 1974 for the construction of the Olympic basin; rolling stock was moved between Île-Notre-Dame and Île-Sainte-Hélène and stored there until 1979.
Maintenance facilities were located northwest of La Ronde station.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“The English never draw a line without blurring it.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
“There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.”
—John Gregory Brown (20th century)
