Rigaud is a commuter rail station on the AMT Dorion-Rigaud Line in Rigaud, Quebec, Canada. It is only served by one round trip train per day.
Discontinuation of service to Rigaud
On July 1, 2010, service to Rigaud will be discontinued, as the town of Rigaud is unable to pay the $300,000 annual fee to the AMT to allow service to continue to the town. After that date, the rail line will now end at Hudson. Rigaud pays higher rates to the AMT and sees only limited service, as it is not part of the Montreal Metropolitan Community. Up until that date, the Rigaud station had always had railroad service since the original station opened in 1891.[1] [2]
