The Beauvaisis Steam Train is a metre-gauge tourist railway created by the Museum of Steam Trams and French Secondary Railways (MTVS), on part of the old line from Saint-Omer-en-Chaussée to Vers. It opened in May 2017, on a first section of 1.7 km from Crèvecœur-le-Grand station, in the Oise department, halfway between Beauvais and Amiens. For the 2019 season, the line was extended to Rotangy station, for a route of 3 km. Since the end of 2020, the track has been extended to the edge of the community of communes, between Rotangy and the hamlet of Régnonval, giving it a provisional total length of around 4 km. The line will continue later, after a refocusing of the associative work on Crèvecœur-le-Grand station itself. To the north of Crèvecœur-le-Grand station, the old line has been converted into a green corridor, allowing for walks.
