Bois-Franc is a commuter rail station on the AMT Deux-Montagnes Line in the Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada area. The Orange Line was to have been extended to de Salaberry Street at the corner of Laurentian Boulevard at this end, but that would have been too far away to have made an inter modal station possible. Bois-Franc is in Fare Zone 2, and currently has 754 parking spaces [ [http://www.amt.qc.ca/tc/train/gares/index.asp?nogare=6 Gare Bois-Franc] ] .

Origin of name

Bois-Franc takes its name from the nearby Bois-Franc residential development, itself named for chemin du Bois-Franc, the original name of the stretch of boulevard Henri-Bourassa through this area, as Henri-Bourassa ended at the Laurentien Autoroute. Bois Franc was also the original name of the nearby pioneer airstrip that later was known as Cartierville Airport, until its closing in the 1980s.

Prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, between 1993 and 1995, the station was named Val-Royal; the original Val-Royal Station was demolished at the request of the CN and with the permission of Transport Canada on June 5 1995.Fact|date=May 2007

Location

The station is located at 5465 Henri Bourassa Boulevard West, between Marcel-Laurin Boulevard/Boulevard Laurentien (Route 117) and Grenet Street in Saint-Laurent on the border with Cartierville.
