Hervey-Jonction railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hervey-Jonction railway station (also known as simply Hervey) is located on Chemin de la Gare in Hervey-Jonction, Quebec, Canada.

This station was built in 1905 as the junction for trains travelling from Montreal to Quebec City and other regions. Today, this is where two Via Rail routes travelling together from Montreal (Montreal – Jonquière train and Montreal – Senneterre train) stop to perform a split and continue their journey in separate directions. The trains combine here on the way back to Montreal.

The current site of the station is located just opposite the chapel Hervey-Jonction, in the heart of the village. The previous site of the station-Hervey-Jonction was located about 300 meters east along the former railway line that connected the Transcontinental Quebec Hervey-Junction. This railway line has ceased to be used in 2007.

The first station was located at the south of the village of Hervey Junction, near the boundary of Sainte-Thècle.
