The Mont-Saint-Hilaire line was operated by the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) from 1859 to 1923, and by Canadian National Railway (CN) from 1923 to 1988, following the GTR's merger into CN. There was no commuter train service on the line after 1988 until Exo's predecessor agency, the Agence Métropolitaine de transport (AMT), resumed passenger service in 2000.
There are 7 inbound and 7 outbound departures per weekday.[2] This line does not run on weekends.
