Route

The Saint-Denis–Dieppe railway begins in the northern suburbs of Paris, near the Gare de Saint-Denis, where it branches off the railway from Paris to Lille. It runs in generally northwestern direction, passing through Pontoise, Gisors, Gournay-en-Bray and Serqueux, where it crosses the Amiens–Rouen railway. The now demolished section beyond Serqueux passed through Neufchâtel-en-Bray, and followed the river Béthune downstream until it reached its terminus Gare de Dieppe.
