| MF 88.
Régie autonome des transports parisiens (Autonomous Parisian Transportation Administration, RATP) MF 88 no 88M017 (ANF Industrie, 1990-1992) is the lead motor on a three-car train seen arriving at Louis Blanc station on Line 7bis. Nine of these trainsets were built and nowadays they can only be found on Line 7bis. The trains have a unique wheel arrangement amongst rapid transit rolling stock: the center car has two single axles at each end, and the end motor cars are similar but with an additional guiding wheelset at each end (for a total of 3 axles per car). This experimental design proved to cause a high rate of wear-and-tear, thus increasing maintenance costs. |
