It was in operation between 1903 and 1932. ==History== The first section of line, between St. Pierre-de-Quilbignon and Le Conquet opened on 12 July 1903. It replaced a three-horse omnibus known as ''l'Hirondelle'' (''The Swallow''), which had made just one return journey between Le Conquet and Brest daily.The engineer of the line was a M. Calvé. Over 12,000 passengers were carried in the first twenty days of operation. There were three main reasons the line was built. Firstly, to give the citizens of Brest access to the beaches at Ste. Anne-de-Portzic. Secondly, to enable the easy shipment of food to Brest. Thirdly, for military purposes in the event of an invasion. The TEF was declared a Public Utility, and operated by the ''Société Anonyme des Tramways Électriques du Finistère'', which was a separate company from the ''Compagnie des Tramways de Brest'', which operated trams within the town of Brest itself.〔 The head of both companies was M. Hérodote.The line was extended into Brest on August 5, 1908,〔 the same year that a short branch opened to serve Ste. Anne-de-Portzic. The speed of the trams was limited to and a minimum of six return journeys was made each day. The line ran alongside public roads for its entire length. In 1922, operation of the line was taken over by the Chemins de Fer Départementaux du Finistère (CFDF).〔 The depot was at Pont Rohel, where the power station that supplied electricity for the line was also situated.〔 The branch to St. Anne-de-Portzic closed in September 1918, but reopened in 1925.〔 The system closed on 5 October 1932.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tramways Électrique du Finistère」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
