Amqui is served by Via Rail's Ocean; the Montreal – Gaspé train was suspended in 2013.

Both trains share the same rail line between Montreal and Matapédia.

The station is representative of the boom in rail use in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the associated expansion of the railways in general, and the Intercolonial Railway of Canada (IRC) in particular.

Amqui depended on the railway to transport their agricultural products and finished parts made of wood.

It is distinguished by its two-stage design, incorporating the housing of the station master and his family.
