The largest metric depot in France, with 6,000 m2 covered, built in the 1890s, it was the main depot of the Breton Network until 1967, when the Network was dismantled. Today, the building is used for the maintenance of railway and road rolling stock. Its aim is to become the heart of the future living museum of the Breton railway network.
Built in the 1890s, the Breton Network had 468 km of lines divided into 5 branches from Carhaix. Passenger and Freight activity, maintenance of rolling stock, railway infrastructure. The Breton Network lines which opened up the Centre Ouest Bretagne also served as test lines for rolling stock before it was put into operation on the SNCF network. From Carhaix, Réseau Breton served the stations of Morlaix (29), Châteaulin (29) Camaret (29) Rosporden (29), Brohinière (35) and Paimpol (22) via Guingamp. At its height, between the two wars, more than 800 people worked there and entire neighborhoods of Carhaix were created by railway workers of the Breton N
