Lens (French: Gare de Lens) is a railway station in Lens, Pas-de-Calais, France. The building was built in 1926–1927 to resemble a steam locomotive with a 23-metre-high (75 ft) tower as the chimney. The architect was Urbain Cassan. In December 1984 it was listed as a French National Heritage Site (Monument historique).[1]
