The Ax Vert de la Thiérarche is a former railway line that has been converted into a cycling and walking path. The trail of almost 40 kilometers runs from Guise to Hirson, via Autreppes, and offers a pleasant and peaceful environment for walking, cycling and horse riding. The path runs along the banks of the Oise River and offers beautiful views of the natural and cultural heritage of the Thiérache.

A real technical innovation, the Florentine Tower housed the depot’s signal box. 48.87 m high and equipped with a lightning rod, it was erected in concrete (500t) and red bricks (100t), although with some ceramic embellishments. Its square base occupies an area of 49 m2, its rectangular spindle is divided into five floors linked together by a metal staircase and topped by a room of 30 m2 (7.3 mx4.1 m). This room, which offers a panoramic view, supports, via a concrete trapezoid, a cube whose side faces were each decorated with a clock 3.20 m in diameter. They have now disappeared.

Locomobile No. 3003, which can be seen at the entrance to the town of Buire and the former railway depot, was manufactured in 1900 by the construction engineer Emile Salmson. Its operating pressure was 7 bars. Property of the Northern Railway Company, it was used to drive the machine tools of the Hellemes Workshops (North). As the SNCF machine tools became autonomous, she ended her career in 1939. It was Monsieur Raclot, director of the Leclerc center, who offered her second youth to the ECO-RAIL association.
