The Palace Station was built in 1915 by the Canadian Pacific Railway; it was designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1992. The two story chateau style station is similar in design to the Château Frontenac. Apparently, the station had no passenger rail service from 1976 to 1985. Today, it once again hosts regular daily services west to Montreal's Central Station via Drummondville.
The Gare du Palais is both a train and bus station; its name is derived from its proximity to the Palace of the Intendant of New France. It's rail service is provided by Via Rail, Canada’s national passenger railway, and by the private coach company Orléans Express.
