Pont-Remy is a railway station in the town Pont-Remy, Somme department, region Hauts-de-France, northern France. It is situated on the Longueau–Boulogne railway, between Amiens and Abbeville.
In 1903, the station witnessed the arrest of three leaders of the bande à Jacob (Jacob's band), a gang of anarchists (Marius Jacob, Pélissard and Félix Bour). After a car pursuit (one of the first in France) between Abbeville and this station, a shooting ensued in which a police agent (agent Anquier) was killed.[1]
