The Belgian railway line 130A is a railway line in Belgium connecting Charleroi with the French border near Erquelinnes. Completed in 1852, the line runs 29.3 km. It runs along the river Sambre, crossing it several times. Beyond Erquelinnes, a French railway line continues towards Jeumont, Saint-Quentin and Paris.
