The Gare de Chambly (Chambly station) is a railway station located 500 metres from the centre of the commune of Chambly (Oise department), France. It is on the Épinay-Villetaneuse–Le Tréport-Mers railway and is served by TER Picardie trains from Paris to Beauvais.
The SNCF's Moulin Neuf Industrial Equipment Facility (formerly the Moulin Neuf Works) is also at Chambly.
The passenger station is located at kilometre mark 40.880 on the line from Épinay-Villetaneuse to Le Tréport-Mers, between the Gare de Persan-Beaumont and the Gare de Bornel-Belle-Église. The Moulin Neuf facility is at kilometre mark 39.445.
The station has a passenger building with a ticket office which is open daily, plus automatic ticket dispensers. There is a carpark nearby. Access to the platforms, which are equipped with shelters, is via an underground passage.
The station is served by approximately 20 TER Picardie trains a day in each direction on weekdays and approximately ten in each direction on weekends and public holidays.
During the First World War, the French military decided to establish a facility at Chambly for repairing strategic infrastructure behind the front lines. This is the origin of the Moulin Neuf works, which opened in 1916 and in 1917 was augmented with a site for the construction of track equipment (such as points) for equipping new strategic lines and repairing existing behind the lines track. Installations were overseen by the 5th Engineer Regiment, the only unit of the French Army which specialised in railway works.
At the end of the war, the military relinquished the facilities and the Nord company took possession of them again in order to rebuild their track and installations, which had suffered considerably from the years of conflict.
