Longueau is a suburb of Amiens, and between the two there's a considerable expanse of largely abandoned rail freight yards. Fun fact - Amiens is twinned with Darlington, as both have a railway heritage. Longueau was on the early Paris-Lille built when the French were catching up with Britain and Belgium in the 1840s.
