Canada and Gulf Terminal (Chemin de Fer de Matane et du Golfe, CFMG) was a small regional 36 mile shortline that handled mainly paper and lumber traffic along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, in the Mont-Joli to Matane area. Their small roster included GE 70-tonner 101, SW8 102, and SW1200 103 (acquired from the R&S), as well as an ex-NYC doodlebug, and a combine used for mixed trains.

CN took over the line in 1975, and a ferry operation was established between Matane and Baoie Comeau. One CN SW1200RS was even relettered for the CGT as 104. CN ran operations until spinning the line off in 1999 to the Quebec Railway Corp (who ran operations with CFMG-lettered 6900-series SD40-3's and ex-CP RS18u's). When CN purchased a handful of QRC's operations in late 2008, it again re-acquired this portion of the line.

CFMG 102 was sold to Dofasco as their 27/427 a few years later, and eventually became a slug.
