Cornwall Station is the city's passenger rail station for VIA Rail Canada services. It handles intercity Corridor trains on the Montreal-Toronto route and serves as the boarding point for rail trips into Quebec and across southern Ontario. Cornwall does not have multiple major passenger stations, so most rail itineraries for the city use Cornwall Station as the origin or destination.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Cornwall?

Yes. VIA Rail Corridor trains from Cornwall use reserved seating, so passengers book a specific train and seat category when buying tickets.
