TOPSHOTS Commuters wait on a platform at the Gare de l'Est train station in Paris, on June 11, 2014. French commuters faced traffic chaos Wednesday amid a national train strike called by trade unions in protest against a proposed railway reform aimed at containing the sector's soaring debt. The 24-hour strike began on Tuesday evening, but its main impact will be felt on Wednesday with train links to other countries also hit, according to the SNCF state rail body.
