TORCY (SNCF) Torcy is located in the Department of Seine-Maritime in the
Haute Normandie, (Upper Normandy), Region of Northern
France at the end of a single track branch off the line from
Rouen to Dieppe. Torcy is a real place but the railway is
completely fictitious
The survival of the imaginary branch line is due, in the main,
to a distribution depot set up to transfer goods arriving by rail
to road vehicles for delivery to this area of northern France,
the level of freight traffic is sufficiently healthy to require
several trains a day. In addition, loaded trains of open
wagons containing gravel from a quarry up the line, that only
has access from the Torcy direction, enter the station area to
reverse before departing to Sotteville yard in Rouen for
onward dispatch.
The station also survives and is served by a regular
passenger service from Rouen operated by diesel-powered
push-pull trains and multiple units.
