During the 19th century, railway construction began in France with short mineral lines. The building of the main French railway system did not begin until after 1842, when a law legalised railways.

Date back to 1830s. The present SNCF French rail network dates from 1938 when the French railways were nationalised.

Additional information. Most were built by British designers and engineers. That's why French trains travel on the left hand track. They've probably never forgiven us for that.
