RAILWAY SERVICES AT VAL D'ARGENTEUIL STATION

LE VAL D'ARGENTEUIL ET SA DESSERTE FERROVIAIRE

In this article, the author, Ingenieur Principal Hors classe, SNCF Western Region, gives brief historical details of the construction of the lines concerned in the western suburbs of Paris; he explains how the population growth and property development after the war resulted in the decision to build a new station near the town of Argenteuil (Paris-Mantes line) which is itself in full expansion. He then refers to the town-planning and railway requirements that had to be met, and the methods adopted in connection with site, technology, civil engineering and architecture. He describes the various installations provided, the progress of the work, and gives figures which illustrate the steep rise of passenger traffic at Val d'Argenteuil station since it was opened at the end of 1970.
