Station of Audun-le-Tiche, South end, looking North, seen from the Bridge for Route de Russange.

This single track is the former branch from Fontoy (on the Thionville-Valenciennes lines). Passenger traffic was axed in 1939, while freight went in 1995.

Interestingly, this route makes a tight loop to the West, so as to reach the bridge which one can spot in the background, very close to the French-Luxemburgish border.
