The 1900 Station
For the 1900 Exposition Universelle the station was yet again reopened. The line was extended to the Invalides and moved to the side of the river Seine. The CF de l'Ouest created a new through station which was situated below the Eiffel Tower as well as the newly built Celestial Globe.
As well as a passenger station, the CF de l'Ouest also built a goods station, this was situated between the Avenue de Suffren and the Boulevard de Grenelle. At the end of the world fair all services were transferred to Gare des Invalides.
