Ligne C Notes
A surprisingly short line, Métro line C began as a
funicular between Croix-Paquet and Croix-Rousse, which opened on 12
April 1891 with a 17% grade. It closed on 3 July 1972. The upper
station was rebuilt and the line became a rack railway in 1974, and
was connected to the Métro line A at Hôtel-de-Ville on 2 May 1978,
date of the opening of the Métro system. The line was extended from
Croix-Rousse to Cuire without the rack system, on a disused railway
ROW, on 8 December 1984. The rolling stock is 5 sets of two-car
trains, able to run on both rack sections and non-rack sections, built
by Alsthom in 1984. The line is underground, except in Croix-Paquet
station and between Hénon and Cuire (Hénon is an underground station,
Cuire is a ground-level station).
