The Société de chemin de fer de la Gaspésie (reporting mark SFG) (in English, the Gaspé Railway Company) is a Canadian short line railway located in eastern Quebec operating over 202.2 mi (325.4 km) of track from its interchange with Canadian National Railway (CN) at Matapédia in the west to the end of the line at Gaspé in the east, along the south coast of the Gaspé Peninsula.
SFG is a non-profit company owned by the following four regional county municipalities (MRCs) which the rail line serves:
In May 2015, the railway line was purchased by the Government of Quebec. SFG continues to offer freight service on the line, with customers located in Nouvelle, New Richmond and Caplan. SFG currently operates one regular freight train (565/566) which operates Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, interchanging woodchips and lumber with Canadian National Railway (CN) at Matapédia, which are loaded at the Temrex sawmill in Nouvelle. Other semi regular customers include the Farmer's Cooperative Feed Mill in Caplan and Rail GD, in New Richmond, a company who specializes in heavy diesel engine repair and rail equipment refurbishment. The company is hopeful to add Ciment McInnis, located in Port Daniel, to its list of customers in late 2016, promising some 2500 rail cars of freight per year.
