Gare du Nord (North Station)
Rue Dunkerque
Quartier Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, 10th arrondissement
Paris, July 2005
“Like other Parisian railway stations, the Gare du Nord rapidly proved to be too small to handle persistence increases in railway traffic. Accordingly, the station has been periodically reconfigured. During 1884, engineers were able to install five supplementary tracks. During 1889, the station's interior was completely rebuilt, while an extension was constructed along its eastern side to serve the suburban rail lines. Further rounds of expansion work were carried out between the 1930s and the 1960s.” (Gare du Nord, Wikipedia)
