New map of French railways in 1933

[ianp]

I have just seen an advert for this and it looks good.

It's a newly published book of old maps of France and its many railways in 1933: https://trains.lrpresse.com/A-18334-toutes-les-lignes-et-les-gares-de-france-en-cartes.aspx

Available from the folk at LR Presse who publish railway magazines.

The bad Google translation says: "Although not originally rail, these issues cards "Pouey Collection" are a wealth of information for both the amateur and for the modeller. The 1933 edition lists all main and secondary rail, standard gauge or narrow gauge, the entire French territory, at a time when the railway is at its peak.  Thus, more than 11 000 stations are carried on the 89 departments that make up this collection. The texts written by Clive Lamming summarize the history and evolution of all these lines, their origin to the present. 89 colorized maps. " 

[Foulounoux]

So the 89 maps are basically one per department
