PETIT TRAIN DE LA HAUTE SOMME

For the train buffs this is a must adjacent to the Somme. The "Petit train de la Haute Somme" it is the last remaining section of a large military network built in the First World War primarily by the British near Froissy. Briefly the line was built to take amongst other things ammunition to the front line. The trains are primarily steam power with few old diesels for the uphill section. The line is facinating going along the valley then up the valley side to the wheat field on top in a zigzag with lots of points changing rather than a slow incline.
