Red Line (Montreal Metro)
The Red Line (French: Ligne rouge), also known as Line 3 (French: Ligne 3), was a proposed line of the Montreal Metro that never made it past its planning stage. The line was supposed to have 15 stations and end at Cartierville (western) of Bordeaux-Cartierville, using CN tracks and Mount Royal Tunnel under Mount Royal.[1] The line was cancelled because:
- Trains would have to use steel wheels instead of rubber tires like the rest of the Metro cars because part (or most) of the line was to go outside.
Expo 67 made the Yellow Line more important.
The line was still planned for construction as a "regional metro" line in the early 1980s, reduced to a total of 9 stations.
The tracks are now used by the commuter rail Deux-Montagnes Line and will form the central section of the planned Réseau express métropolitain.
