MF 67 on Line 2, at Stalingrad station.

The MF 67 is a steel-wheel variant of electric multiple units used on Paris's Métro system. It is the most common Paris Metro rolling stock variant, being used on Lines 2, 3, 3bis, 5, 9, 10 and 12. 1482 cars have been built in 5 batches, first initially introduced on Lines 7 and 12. On Lines 2, 5 and 9 the MF 67 is being replaced by the newer MF 2000 stock, as these aging trains are approaching 40 years old (the first deliveries were in 1967/1968). The trains underwent mid-life refurbishment in 1995.
