Where does the train arrive in Montreal?

Montreal Central Station | Travel in? Gare Centrale de Montr?al.



Most intercity and commuter trains in Montreal arrive at Gare Centrale (Montreal Central Station), located at 895 de la Gauchetière West. This is the primary hub for VIA Rail (serving the Quebec City-Windsor corridor), Amtrak (the Adirondack service from New York), and several Exo commuter rail lines. The station is conveniently situated in the heart of downtown, directly beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hotel and connected to the "Underground City" (RÉSO) and the Bonaventure Metro station. In 2026, travelers also have the option of the REM (Réseau express métropolitain), an automated light metro system. The REM's central hub is also integrated with the Central Station area, providing seamless links to the South Shore, the West Island, and eventually the Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL). Whether you are coming from Toronto, New York, or the suburbs, the Central Station remains the "grand arrival" point for rail travel in the city.

It's basically charming and Pennsylvania/Midwest-like flat countryside mixed with some cute villages...but it goes on f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I convinced my fiance to stay on Chemin du Roy (going from Quebec to Montreal) until Trois Riveries. It's a big town on the map, so I was convinced it was going to be the winner.
