It was the final stopover of Via Rail's Montreal–Gaspé train until service on the line (train 16/17 between Carleton and Gaspé) was interrupted in 2013. The station was staffed and is wheelchair-accessible. The station was only open on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday with Interac being accepted. Business hours were between 11:15 am and 3:15 pm. The station offered car rental services, a bicycle box, a baggage room, and an animal cage. Located within 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from an airport, the station is located close to alternate methods of travel.

However, public transportation is unavailable to and from the train station. Private vehicles and taxi cabs are necessary to enter and exit the railway district.

As of 2013, the closest regular service is provided at the Matapédia railway station. However, service to Gaspé is scheduled to resume in 2026.[1]
