Rigaud was a commuter rail station, formerly served by the AMT Dorion-Rigaud Line in Rigaud, Quebec, Canada. It was previously served by only one round trip train per day.

Discontinuation of service to Rigaud

Train service was cut to Hudson as of July 1, 2010, as the town of Rigaud was unable to pay the $300,000 annual fee to the AMT to allow service to continue to the town. Rigaud paid higher rates to the AMT and received less service than other stations, as it is not part of the Montreal Metropolitan Community. Up until that date, the Rigaud station had continuous railroad service since the original Canadian Pacific station opened in 1891.^[1][2]

Following the closure of Rigaud station, the line was renamed the Vaudreuil-Hudson Line.
