Les Raccordements du Metro, 2

Here: Home » Posts » Les Raccordements du Metro, 2

Rounding out the subject of the previous post - raccords, this is the nicest in the system. Quite long and, at the eastern end, double track. This is the only double track raccord in the system. The western end is one of the easiest in the system to be explored if you know the trick and even includes a train storage siding parallel to the platforms at the station from which the raccord begins. This man v machine saga continues next week, same fap time same fap channel.

*Hmmm*... There _are_ other partially double-track raccords, for instance, the line 1line 5 one between Gare de Lyon and Quai de la Rapee, which incidentally also begins on a siding parallel to the running tracks in Gare de Lyon station. Actually, I wondered a moment if this was it, until the interrupted track on the 5th picture gave it away: Looking at the track maps at hxxp://carto.metro.f ree.fr/, this must be the line 7 line 10 raccord between Place Monge and Maubert-Mutualite. A weird place indeed.
