The, journey from end to end, takes approximately 11.5hours. Many small hunting and fishing clubs operate along the route and appear as request stops on the timetable. It is also possible to make a reservation to get off at an unmarked spot.[2]

The train travels three times a week. Between Montreal and Hervey-Jonction, it travels on the same line as the Montreal–Jonquière train, another regional route.
