The Honour medal of railroads (French: "médaille d’honneur des chemins de fer") is a state decoration bestowed by the French Republic in the form of an honour medal for work. It was originally meant to reward, depending on the quality and length of time calculated in calendar years, the services rendered by French agents and labourers and to nationals of the French Union or protectorates, in service with the railroads. The Honour medal of railroads was created by decree on 19 August 1913 as a reward for thirty years of service.[1] Since then, many modifications were instituted by consecutive decrees amending the original text.
