The Réseau de la Woëvre was a 149 km (93 mi) long metre-gauge rail network that operated from 1914 to 1938 in France. A 66 km (41 mi) branch line to Commercy branched off from the 61 km Verdun-Montmédy main line at Vaux-devant-Damloup.[14]
The network operator of the Réseau de la Woëvre was granted a concession for non-profit operation by a law of 13 June 1907, and began operating it in 1914.[15]
The Société Générale des Chemins de Fer Économiques (SE) took over the operation in 1922. The company had opened its own network in 1914, shortly before the start of the First World War.
