Aren't the "river crossing" pictures the metro rather than commuter trains?

It is the metro, but an understandable error to make as the natural assumption is that the metro is all underground.

Nice ! Thank you for sharing!!! :):):)

Very nice photos and info.

The "train" on the bridge in the picture is a Metro train on line 6.

Interestingly the next bridge further done the Seine is a railroad bridge that carries the RER C line across the river. Look carefully at photo 5 -- notice the catenary supports. And at the far end of the bridge in photo 4 you can make out the Avenue de Pdt Kennedy station.
