The New Carlisle station is a closed railway station in New Carlisle, Quebec, Canada. It served the Montreal-Gaspé train until service was suspended east of Matapédia station in 2013 due to deteriorating track conditions.

Heritage Information

The station is a designated Heritage Railway Station, so protected since 1994. The station was built by the Canadian National Railways in 1947. The imposing, two-storey structure was built according to a 1920s plan "for Québec stations, in which the upper floor accommodates the administrative functions of a divisional point station, in addition to the station agent’s residence." The current station was built to replace a former building, destroyed by fire. [2]
