History

Commuter service on the line was previously operated by Grand Trunk Railway and successor Canadian National Railway; service was discontinued in 1988.

Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) reopened the line between Gare Centrale and McMasterville in 2000, initially as a temporary measure following construction on parallel highways. Following the success of the service, additional trains were added, and the line was extended to Mont-Saint-Hilaire in 2002.

The AMT was abolished in June 2017 and was replaced by the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM). Shortly after, in July, Bombardier Transport took over the operation and maintenance of all commuter trains. The Mont-Saint-Hilaire line was rebranded as "exo3 - Mont-Saint-Hilaire line" upon introduction of the exo branding in 2018. The number was adjusted again in 2023 to "Line 13 Mont-Saint-Hilaire". A new simplified region-wide fare zone was introduced in July 2024, which replaced the older fare zones (1 through 6); Line 13 is now within zones A, B, and C.
