TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, June 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Butterfly Flexible Seating Solutions has entered the rail industry with its first commercial installation of its award-winning convertible seat, adapted from aerospace-inspired motorcoach design for use on long-distance passenger trains.

Partnering with Canadian Railway Services (CRWS) and Morelli Design Transport on the Tshiuetin Rail Transportation modernization project, the Butterfly seats will debut on refurbished train cars serving a 12-hour route between Sept-Îles and Schefferville, Quebec.

The collaboration was announced during the Red Cabin Railway Interior Innovation Summit and represents a significant milestone in the full fleet refurbishment of North America’s first Indigenous-owned and operated railway.

Launched by Transport Ferroviaire Tshiuetin Inc., the project aims to create a more comfortable, inclusive, and culturally reflective passenger experience for the Innu, Naskapi, and Cree communities of northeastern Quebec and Labrador. Known as a lifeline for food, fuel, medicine, and mobility, the railway connects people to both essential goods and traditional lands.

Butterfly Seating introduces a 3-in-1 flexible system that transforms from upright recliners to a private lounge or a full 78-inch lie-flat bed — all with the simple pull of a lever. The design gives passengers the space and comfort to rest, relax, or work throughout Tshiuetin’s 12-hour journey. For operators, this flexibility means adapting to real-world passenger needs without the limitations of fixed layouts.
