Unfortunately, the Musée des transports is closed for moving to a new location (since 1998) and there is no information available on its projected re-opening date.

Their site, in French, does have lots of pictures and information on the collection, as well as links to other transport museums around the world.

Just get on any RER car, they are all antiques in their own right.... http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif

From my experiences to date here in Paris,I have been impressed with the standard and in fact cleanliness of all the metro ,sncf and rer trains.
There is a non smoking policy on the ile de france trains and on the platforms.
It came as a pleasant surprise.
I have certainly have seen a lot older rolling stock elsewhere.
