[edit] Origin of name

Montreal-West takes its name from the Town of Montreal West, where half of the station is located. The other half is located in the city of Montreal (Cote-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grace borough)

[edit] History

The present Montreal-West station was built in 1905. Previously, the name of this station was Montreal Junction as it was (as still is today) the place where numerous passenger lines came together. Until about the 1970' there were 4 tracks at the station. Track 1 (the southernmost track, closest to the station) was removed. In the 1980s the switch from North Junction into the station (track 4) was removed, but was reinstated in 1999 when the Blainville train line (now Blainville/St-Jerome) started downtown service. It wasn't until 2003, however, did the Blainville line have its trains stop at Montreal-Ouest.
