The Somain to Péruwelz railway was one of the first railways in France. It opened in October 1838 linking Abscon in the department du Nord with Saint Waast-la-Haut. It was gradually extended and by 1874 it linked Somain in France with Péruwelz in Belgium. At its peak the line had a length of 25 miles.
