About
Please note that we're open only from May to September for individuals and from April to October for groups. Built in 1916 for the Battle of the Somme during WW1, our line was saved in 70's by railway enthusiasts as it was still used by a local sugar factory. Steam and Diesel locomotives, some being listed as Historic Monuments, run on this historic line, the last surviving from WW1. Our museum present a part of the society's collection ; about 35 locomotives and more than 100 wagons built from end of 19th century to 80's. Starting in the Somme valley along the river, after a tunnel and a Zig-Zag system in a wood, you'll discover a view on several kilometers on the Plateau du Santerre.
