The Sartigan Railway (French: Chemin de fer Sartigan) is a short-line railway operating on the Quebec Central Railway line, owned by the Ministry of Transportation of Quebec, between Lévis and Vallée-Jonction since 2008. It connects with the Canadian National (CN) at its Joffre Yard situated in Charny.[1]

The railway previously operated as a tourist train beginning in 1993, and ended operations in 2005.

Sartigan Railway also operates transshipment sites with its partner Logibel in Scott and Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon[2][3]
