This line was build using cut and cover methods 3. It was steam powered. Yes, the Paris section was interesting, and new to me, but given the above I am not sure how complete a picture it is. Or how much of it was true given the howlers in the parts about LU. Was the NYC the first to use electric traction (I doubt that) or the first to use EMUs (which I might believe)? B2003 |
