Orange Line (Montreal Metro)
The Orange Line (French: Ligne orange), also known as Line 2 (French: Ligne 2), is the longest, most congested, and first-planned of the four lines of the Montreal Metro, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It formed part of the initial network, and was extended from 1980 to 1986. On April 28, 2007, three new stations in Laval opened; this is the second line to leave Montreal Island.
The Orange line measures 30 kilometres (19 mi) in length and counts 31 stations. Like the rest of the Metro network, it is entirely underground. The line runs in a U-shape from Côte-Vertu metro station in northwestern Montreal to Montmorency metro station in Laval, northeast of Montreal.

Famous quotes containing the words orange and/or line:
“the great orange bed where we lie
like two frozen paintings in a field of poppies.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist’s presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul’s style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
