History
Service started on September 4, 2001 with 2 round trips every day. One trainset was used for both departures. In September 2003, service was increased to the current 4 round trips per day and a second trainset was used. Service was extended to Candiac in 2005. In 2009, two additional departures were added in each direction with leased trainsets being used until new locomotives and rolling stock is received.
Service on the line was suspended from February 17, 2006 to March 9, 2006 after the derailment of 6 Canadian Pacific freight cars on February 17. The freight cars derailed on a bridge used by the train service. This was one of the longest disruptions in train service for the AMT.
The line was renamed on July 1 2010 from "Delson-Candiac" to simply "Candiac" to standardize formatting across the network.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
