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. However, service to Gaspé is scheduled to resume in 2026.
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.
On November 9, 1942, German spy Werner von Janowski came ashore from German submarine U-518 in Chaleur Bay, four miles to the west of town. He boarded a train in the New Carlisle station which the present one replaced. He intended to travel to Montreal, but was captured almost immediately after boarding.
