MK: This Paris picture thread amazes me some more...
MK: Again great Paris pics! I have questions about the following and comments:
#680-Metro Station on Line 6
#683-Entrance to ?
#702-RER Line on elevated structure...
#717-Metro Line 11 Station?
#718-Is this the Seine River in central Paris?
#728-Is this inside a tram?
#734-An RER Station?
#739-Which Metro Station?
#741-What is that arch in the background there?
#746-Metro line 4 which is a pneumatic-tired rail line in a cut-and-cover built station of Strasbourg-St.Denis - I have an 80s book on the Metro describing I believe this very line and station.
Happy New Year 2009 to you,MK! Long Island Mike

#680-It is Pasteur (line 6), interchange station with line 12
#683-This is an entrance of Centre Gamma a little mall with restaurants and car renting shops connected at Gare de Lyon by this skyway. This also the entrance of a big office mid-rises complex.
#702-RER B in Laplace station
#717-Hotel de Ville (line 11), interchange station with the line 1
#718-This is Seine river but not in central Paris. This is a view of La Defense from a bridge between Levallois Perret and Courbevoie in western inner suburbs. Of course Paris inner suburbs are dense urban, so not suburban at all.
#728-Yes inside the T3.
#734-Saint-Maur Creteil RER A.
#739-It is not the metro but the tram T2 in La Defense.
#741-Porte Saint Denis
#746-Right, I add that Porte Saint Denis is at Strasbourg Saint Denis metro station.

More good Paris pics!
MK: Thanks for the reply for the previous Paris pics! I would like to get info on these new pics: #763-which METRO line? #771-METRO elevated structure on left-which line? #773-which Tram line is this?
I want to mention that the book I have is: The Paris METRO Handbook by Brian Hardy - 1988 - Capital Transport Press. It a a good English-language overview of the Paris METRO system from the late 80s era. LI MIKE

Wow, all these photos are amazing. I literally think all of Paris (+suburbs =P) should be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of course, that has its own problems, as Paris has practically no room to grow.
Say, do you have any pictures of the inside of Gare du Nord?? I always loved that building, and I never actually saw any pictures of what it looks like inside, with all the TGV's.

Paris (and its suburbs) grow faster than many people think, about 100,000 new inhabitants every years.
Since Paris has a negative migration rate with the province, so the growth is due at Paris high birth rate and immigration.
#763-line 5 Quai de la Rapee
#771-line 6 Quai de la Gare
#773-T2
The Paris METRO handbook from 1988, so you see the MA and MP55 trains, withdrawn in 1990's. You also see the train in blue (and white for the MF77).
I saw few blue train in 1996, my oldest memory about Paris, but most were already green. (I was born in 1990 and I only live in Paris since 2002)
Since 1988, one line was opened and the line 1 and 13 were extended. Paris metro still grow.
Actually there is three extention u/c
Line 8 to Creteil Parc des Sports
Line 4 to Mairie de Montrouge
Line 12 to Mairie d'Aubervilliers
We also have a metro ring line in project (Metropherique or Arc Express), located in the inner suburbs, it would link most metro and RER lines.
About Paris METRO handbook, the latest is from 1999, so I think that a new one will be released in 2010.

MK: Good Paris pics again!
MK: More good pics of Paris again! I noticed these pics:
#793-a neat gateway!
#795-Interesting gold tinted windows on that building...
#799-RER or SNCF line noting those red rail car ends?
This has been a GREAT set of 800 pics - judging by the pics I thought for sure that you were older then just 19-let's just say I am old enough to be your father-a thought that actually scares me a little...LI MIKE
