R09279. XR8530 at Hesdin.
R9279. SNCF X4500 'Caravelle' Class DMU X4536 at Hesdin in July, 1999. It is coupled to unpowered driving trailer XR8530.
Hesdin is on the line that branches off from the Calais – Paris main line at Etaples Le Touquet Station south of Boulogne but, sadly, trains on this line have now been replaced by buses.
Google Street View in 2019 shows the level crossing at Hesdin is still in situ, but with rusty rails and weedy track. It also shows the locked up station and people standing outside waiting for a bus!
