Pierrefonds-Roxboro (French pronunciation: [pjɛʁfɔ̃ʁɔksbɔʁo]) in the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada is a Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station that opened on 17 November 2025.[6] The REM station replaced a commuter train station named Roxboro-Pierrefonds on the Deux-Montagnes line of the Exo network, which closed in 2020.
History
[edit | edit source]The railway station was originally named Roxboro, and was built as part of Canadian Northern Railway's line from Montreal to Deux-Montagnes via the Mount Royal Tunnel. It handled passengers, mail, and freight. Roxboro Station burned down in 1932 and was not immediately rebuilt. Instead the stop moved approximately one-half mile (0.8 km) west to where the railway crossed Gouin Boulevard West. This station was known as Ste-Genevieve. By 1944 the stop had returned to its original site and was once more known as Roxboro. The new, small station no longer handled freight.[7]
In the 1990s, the station was modernized as part of the electrification of the Deux-Montagnes line, and renamed Roxboro-Pierrefonds.
In May 2020, the station was closed, to allow the line to be converted to the REM. The new station was renamed from Roxboro-Pierrefonds to Pierrefonds-Roxboro, to match the name of the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro.[8]
Location
[edit | edit source]The station is located in the former city of Roxboro in the Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough of Montreal, at 11100 Gouin Boulevard West. The platforms can also be accessed from the east where the line crosses Rue du Centre-Commercial (11th Avenue).
