Candiac Line (AMT) - Future Projects

Future Projects

To improve service and attract new users on the Candiac line, the AMT will carry out three major projects:

  • Improve railway infrastructure on the Adirondack/Lacolle subdivision. The $20-million project includes improving signaling, adding a siding for freight trains, refurbishing switches and improving pedestrian crossings. Work should be completed by 2014.
  • Build a new train station in Lachine along Victoria Street. This project is part of the MTQ's mitigation measures for the reconstruction of the Turcot interchange. The new station is expected in 2014.
  • Build a new layover facility (overnight service and storage yard) at the end of the line. Construction is linked to the railway improvement project above.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or projects:

    We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
