Notes: The station was renamed to honor FDR in 1946. Special signage now shows the name in five languages, at least three of which appear to have the man's middle name spelled out in full.

Notes: Northbound train (direction Aubervilliers) arriving as a southbound one departs. Southbound is direction Mairie d'Issy, as the next-train indicator shows, but the Nord-Sud's inscription 'Direction Porte de Versailles' has been left in place on the end wall. Porte de Versailles has not been the terminus since 1934.

Line: Metro Ligne 4
Location: Montparnasse-Bienvenüe
Photo by: Collection of nycsubway.org
Date: 4/28/2013
Notes: Montparnasse station on Lines 4 and 12 was connected by this passage in the late 1930s to the previously separate Bienvenüe station on what are now Lines 6 and 13, and the station names were combined in 1942. The passage was built wide enough to take moving walkways, which were finally installed in 1968. In 2002 the middle walkway was replaced by an experimental high-speed one (with special speed-transition sections to get on or off), but this was a failure and a standard one has been put back in. This view is looking north, toward Lines 6 and 13.

Photo by: Collection of nycsubway.org
Date: 4/28/2013
Notes: Looking east along the elevated track toward La Motte-Piquet - Grenelle station. The outer rails on each side of each track supply the power and also steer the train via its sideways tires; the concrete strips take the weight of the train via its main rubber tires; the conventional steel track serves as a backup and is also used for switching.

Notes: Eastbound train to Nation arriving. Trains on Lines 1, 4, 6, 11, and 14 of the system run on rubber tires, clearly seen here. 'Direction' signage on the system now often abbreviates the longer station names; here westbound trains are shown as 'Étoile' without the preceding 'Charles de Gaulle' part.

Stations visible, in order away from the camera, are Sèvres-Lecourbe, Cambronne, La Motte-Piquet - Grenelle, and Dupleix. An eastbound train for Nation is approaching Sèvres-Lecourbe.

Notes: This station takes its name from the boulevard above, but the meaning of the words is 'Good News'. Presumably this is why it is the only station whose nameboards show the letters dancing with joy. This lettering and local-area map are on the Line 8 westbound platform.
