The –JonquièMontreal–Jonquière train (formerly the Saguenay) is a passenger train operated by Via Rail between Montreal and Saguenay (borough of Jonquière) in Quebec, Canada. The train once operated as far as Chicoutimi.
The journey, from end to end, theoretically takes approximately 11 hours, but it is very rarely on time and can easily take up to 13 hours.
