This evocative photograph, taken in the 19th century, showcases a round plate with the inscription "PLAQUES TOURNANTES" at the center, surrounded by various railway symbols and directional arrows. Plaques tournantes, or turntables, were essential components of railway infrastructure during the 19th century, allowing locomotives to be turned around at the end of their journeys, ensuring they could continue on their routes in the opposite direction.

The photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the French railway system, showcasing the intricate details of the turntable plate and the surrounding railway environment. The rustic textures, worn by the passage of time, add to the historical significance of the image, transporting us back to an era when the railroad was a marvel of modern transportation. As we explore the French Railway Alphabet, let us appreciate the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the railway industry during the 19th century, and marvel at the transformative impact these structures had on the way we travel. This photograph is not only a testament to the history of the French railway system but also a reminder of the enduring allure of the railroad era.
