The railway from Valence to Moirans is a 78 km long railway line in southeastern France. It was built by the PLM and opened on 9 May 1864 to provide a link between Valence and Grenoble. The line is currently only a single track line (originally a double track) but plans exist to electrify it and return it to double track by 2013.^[2]
