Deux-Montagnes (pronounced [dømɔ̃taɲ]) is the terminus station of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) in Deux-Montagnes, Quebec, Canada. REM service at the station began on 17 November 2025.[6] The station serves as the terminus of the Deux-Montagnes branch of the REM.

The REM station replaced a commuter train station by the same name, which opened in 1995 as the northern terminus of the Deux-Montagnes commuter rail line, part of the Exo network. On December 31, 2020, the station closed as part of the conversion of the line to become part of the REM.

History

Deux-Montagnes takes its name from Deux-Montagnes, the municipality where it is located. Before 1995, the name designated what is now Grand-Moulin station; with the extension of the Deux-Montagnes line, the name was transferred to the new terminus.

Before the construction of the REM station, the train station building hosted municipal offices as well as a passenger waiting area. The lawn in front of the station building hosted CN 6710, a GE boxcab electric-powered locomotive that brought trains through the Mount Royal Tunnel until 1995. As construction began, CDPQ Infra paid to have the locomotive relocated to a new site on Chemin d'Oka,[7] at the eastern border of Deux-Montagnes, near the Deux-Montagnes public library.[8]

Location

The station is located at 400, boul. Deux-Montagnes, near Autoroute 640 (exit 8). The station is also served by pedestrian walkways and bicycle routes in Deux-Montagnes.

Beyond the station, there is a light maintenance and storage depot for REM trains, located to the west of the station on the other side of Autoroute 640 where the EXO yard had been.[9]
