Tramway of Quend-Plage and Fort-Mahon

The Tramway of Quend-Plage and Fort-Mahon (le tramway de Quend-Plage et Fort-Mahon or le tramway du Marquenterre) was a 12.8 km long gauge railway line, which operated from 1898-1914 and 1921-1934.

History
The Société Immobilière de Saint-Quentin-Plage built the 8 km long narrow-gauge tramway from the station Quend-Fort-Mahon to the beach at Quend-Plage (previously known as Saint-Quentin-Plage). The tramway was inaugurated in 1898. In 1903, a 4.8 km long branch line was built to the beach at Fort-Mahon-Plage. A single journey from Quend-Fort-Mahon to Quend-Plage lasted 30 min, and to Fort-Mahon-Plage it lasted 40 min.

In 1914, the portable pieces of track with a rail weight of 9.5 to 15 kg/m were lifted to be used during World War I and re-laid in 1919. The tramway was re-commissioned on 13 Juli 1921. The tramway was used until May 1932 and formally closed on 26. February 1934.

Carriages
Initially, two open Decauville summer cars, one Decauville saloon car and three V-skip trucks were used.
