  • yah, superb like how it takes off with the doors wide open in the front car

  • only one door is open when departing, this was the normal operating procedure with this equipment, the train conductor was standing in the middle of the passengers in the front car and was operating the doors from this front door. he had to lean out to check the platform and the train would usually leave with the conductor still leaning out. this has been phased out about 20 years ago, with the final removal of pre-WWII stock.

  • What a great clip. The memories of the '70s Metro came flooding back, especially the 'ting' of the starting bell. All that was missing was the smell of Gauloises.....

  • Or download real player and you'll be able to use it to download the whole video.

  • le Sprague n avait pas de compteur de vitesse ,ce qui n empechait pas d etre a l heure ! ! et l odeur particuliere provenait du fait que les patins de freins etaient en bois enduits de ricin combine avec l ozone de l air....il arrivait ,de temps en temps que ces patins brulaient ! ! ! .

  • Egalement le seul train qui circule a droite !la ratp en fait circuler quelques uns certains week end....

  • Ahhhh !!!!le metro de ma jeunesse....JE ME RAPPELLE Y RESTER UNE JOURNEE ENTIERE ET FAIRE LE TOUR DE PARIS AVEC UN SEUL TICKET....QUELLE AMBIANCE !!!!DU PUR BONHEUR!!!!!!

  • Nice old metro train!
