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:
“He hangs in shades the orange bright,
Like golden lamps in a green night,
And does in the pomegranates close
Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
And throws the melons at our feet;
But apples plants of such a price
No tree could ever bear them twice.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“Too many girls follow the line of least resistance—but a good line is hard to resist.”
—Raoul Walsh, U.S. screenwriter. Frisco Doll (Mae West)
