Abandoned Parisian circular railway 'Chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture'

[skinner75]

Came across this on twistedsifter.com, and then found some more links. Amazing that so much is still extant in a large modern capital city!

There are some lovely brick lined cuttings in places

Video of the route made up of stills pieced together (those arty French!):

 

 

Not modelling I know, but thought it may interest some

I, for one, thank you for posting this.

 

I had never heard of this line before.

 

Very Parisien looking indeed! The cuttings and old stations are really cool.

 

Its going to mean much searching on the net to learn more!

Apart from being arty, a great way of recording a disused line.

That's what I thought - gives a great sense of speed moving along the line

Wow - most of it looks good enough to run trains on again!

Could be a lovely tourist attraction!

Very scenic in parts a pity to see it not in use.
