Gare de Feuquières-Broquiers (Feuquières-Broquiers Station) is a railway station located between Broquiers and Feuquières in the Oise department, France. It is situated on the Beauvais-Abancourt section of the Épinay-Villetaneuse–Le Tréport-Mers railway. It is an unattended station, served by TER Picardie trains between Beauvais and Tréport-Mers.

Near the station, towards Beauvais, there is a branch line to the Saverglass glass factory.

History

During the First World War, a railway was built from Feuquières to Ponthoile on the Longueau–Boulogne railway, north of Noyelles-sur-Mer. It allowed for the military convoys to reach the Abbeville-Eu railway and the Longueau–Boulogne railway without passing into enemy fire.

The line, which was completed within a thousand days, played a major role in the final offensives of the Allies during the late summer and fall of 1918. Lacking commercial interest, the line was abandoned in 1920.
