'Lucien-L'Allier' is a
commuter rail station on the
AMT Dorion-Rigaud,
Blainville-Saint-Jerome,
Delson-Candiac lines in the Greater
Montreal area in
Quebec,
Canada. Lucien-L'Allier is in Fare Zone 1. It is one of the two downtown terminals for Montreal commuter trains, the other being
Gare Centrale.
Origin of name
Lucien L'Allier station takes its name from the nearby
metro station. This station is in turn named for rue Lucien-L'Allier, the original name of which, rue de l'Aqueduc, was changed in order to commemorate
Lucien L'Allier, chief engineer for the initial network of the Montreal metro and for the construction of
Saint Helen's Island and
ÃŽle Notre-Dame for
Expo 67.
Originally, the terminus of the commuter rail line was the monumental
Windsor Station (Gare Windsor), which was also the headquarters of
Canadian Pacific Railway until it moved to Calgary in
1996. This station was separated from the rails by the construction of the
Molson Centre (now Bell Centre), which integrated a new commuter train terminal. Originally called Terminus Windsor, this new terminal was renamed Gare Lucien-L'Allier to reduce confusion with the original Windsor Station, which still exists but is no longer a train station.
Location
The station is located at 1290 De La Gauchetière Street West, near the historic
Windsor Station, and is connected by an enclosed walkway to
Lucien-L'Allier metro station.
Terminus Lucien-L'Allier is the eastern end of the Canadian Pacific Railway's Westmount Subdivision.
