2009-01-03f Tramway

The inter-terminal shuttle, the Charles de Gaulle Véhicule Automatique Léger (or CDVAL) at Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris (also known as Roissy airport), France.

The airport was built in the late 1960's and early 1970's, originally under the name of "Aéroport de Paris Nord". The second terminal opened in 1982, and a third has since been added.

The shuttle was built in the early 2000's, and connects the first two airport terminals with the Réseau Express Régional (RER, the Parisienne "underground" service) and the Train à Grande Vitesse (TGV, the French national/international railway network).

Shot at dawn at the T2 section of the line.

Taken with my Nikon D40, fitted with a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
