Dieppe Maritime station

The original "Steamer Depot" was built on the quai Henri IV connected to the Dieppe station by a short branch line that ran along quai Duquesne, past the trade and industry offices, fire station, the fishing syndicate and the public fish market.

The Paris train ran alongside the quay in front of a long narrow building that included goods and passenger terminals and a restaurant.

This building later became the Gare Maritime's goods depot when, following deepening of the harbour, a new passenger terminal was built further up the quay.

It had three railway tracks, one of them running along the side of the quay, and could handle two locomotive-hauled boat trains and the local railcar to Rouen.

In the 1960s, diesel traction began to replace steam locos on the boat trains operating to and from the harbour station.
