Lyon Metro Line C
Template:Infobox Lyon Network The Croix-Rousse-Croix-Paquet rack railway, which was refurbished in 1974, was integrated into the Lyon Metro in 1978 as line C, running from Hôtel-de-Ville to Croix-Rousse. It was extended to Cuire on December 8, 1984.
The line was constructed using various methods; the incline rising through a deep tunnel, the portion on the flat at Croix-Rousse using cut-and-cover, while the section beyond Hénon runs on the surface. The Croix Paquet station claims to be the steepest metro station in the world, with an incline of 17%. We can also consider the metro line C of Lyon as the first metro line in the world which has been created in 1862 and reconstructed in 1974.
