A Transilien line H station, at a place called « Les briqueteries » (the brickworks), along the RD 909, away from built-up areas. It is in the commune of Belloy-en-France (Val-d'Oise), near Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, at an altitude of 142 metres, on the Plaine de France, at the foot of the outlier hill covered by the Carnelle forest. It is 29.2 km from Paris-Nord station, on the Montsoult - Maffliers to Luzarches branch, an 11 km single-track line.
Anecdote
Belloy - Saint-Martin is the highest point on this line. Halfway along, it is, with Luzarches, the only station on the branch with two platform tracks, which allows trains to pass each other. This passing loop is remotely controlled from Montsoult by a centralised left-hand track control. The ticket office, open on weekdays only, is now permanently closed, and services are run by Z 50000 trains.
