Ahuntsic station (Via Rail)

Ahuntsic station is a former intercity railway station in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was an unstaffed shelter that served as an optional stop for two Via Rail routes running from Montreal. It was located on Durham Avenue, near the Sauvé metro station; the RTM Mascouche commuter rail line stops at the Sauvé station nearby.

For the RTM station, see Ahuntsic station (RTM).
