The Beauvaisis Steam Train is a tourist railway created by the Museum of Steam Trams and French Secondary Railways (MTVS). It began operating in 2017 from Crèvecœur-le-Grand and runs along part of the old line from Saint-Omer-en-Chaussée to Vers, which is now approximately four kilometers long. Thanks to the work of volunteers, this historic train brings the era of steam trams back to life and offers a picturesque ride through the heart of the Oise countryside.
