Old French Railway Photographs/Forum
 

Hi All,
Does anyone know how I could obtain photographs of old french railways, stations etc.?
Is there a forum like this one in France perhaps ?

Regards

Pete

I was interested in finding out about French railways some years ago but encountered a couple of problems: the official attitude that the authorities know best and will tell you what you need to know, the acceptance of that attitude (in all walks of life) by the people and the lack of much of a community with an interest in railways in France. There just aren't the range of railway magazines that we have in this country, for example, and "trainspotting" is considered a very British idiosyncrasy! Now things may have changed somewhat with the internet but I'm not aware of any French site exactly like this one. Please share your findings with us on the forum.

Not quite ..there is a vibrant community..

Ah, technology has moved on a bit since so I stand (or sit) corrected. These websites are interesting, thanks.

Dear All Repondants,

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Peter

I've got a fair number of French railway photos here:-
