Up to the present time Paris has been the only city in France in which the idea of handling passenger traffic by underground railways has received practical application. For a number of years, Paris has had a Belt Line, a steam railroad, passing around the city close to the fortifications. Although this railroad carries passengers and facilitates access to the suburbs, its principal function is the exchange of freight between trunk lines centering in Paris, and it cannot be classed as an interurban railway.
