The Ohis railway viaduct was built around 1885, then destroyed during the First World War and rebuilt just after. 27 meters high and 187 meters long, it has 13 arches. The Busigny-Hirson line, which was completely closed in 1978, used to run through it.

As of the early 20th century, there was a permanent fort and two artillery batteries near the railway junction. Also at that time, the town was engaged in the manufacture of glass bottles, tiles and iron and tin goods, as well as wool-spinning and brewing.[3] The town is served by the Fives-Hirson railway.
