Rivière-du-Loup is noted as a convenient downtown VIA Rail stop, praised for its accessibility.

Travelers should be prepared for potential waits in inclement weather.
"There is no Via train station - you just stand alongside the tracks - at 3 AM in the freezing cold. Via should be ashamed…"

Bob McDougall
"I like taking the train. It feels romantic and vintage. It’s also more ecological than a car. It’s also nice to get drunk on a long train journey."
