context_page_description: The Chemin de fer des Côtes-du-Nord, the Côtes-d'Armor today, was a 1,000 mm, metre gauge, railway in Côtes-du-Nord, France, although there were a few kilometres of line in Finistère and Ille-et-Vilaine. The first lines opened in 1905 and final closure was in 1956. The lines were a voie ferrée d'intérêt local system with a total extent of 457 kilometres.
  The system was constructed in two stages, the initial lines built between 1905 and 1907, and the extensions during and after the First World War which were opened between 1916 and 1926. These lines would make the CdN slightly bigger than the Réseau Breton.
  The first closures were in 1937, but the Second World War gave the CdN a stay of execution, and parts of the system remained open until 1956.
context_section_description: The 51.5 kilometres (32.0 mi) line between Yffiniac and Matignon was opened in stages. Yfinniac – St. Alban on 23 February 1924, St. Alban – Erquy on 3 February 1924, Erquy – Pléherel on 3 November 1925, Pléherel – Pléheron on 27 June 1926 and Pléheron – Matignon on 27 June 1926. It closed on 31 December 1948. In 1929, a train derailed at Port à la Dux. The locomotive fell down an embankment and the driver was killed. The main bridges on the line were the Viaduc de Caroual ou de Cavé, the Ponceau de la Côtière and the  Passerelle de la Côtière at Erquy, the  Viaduc des Ponts-Neufs at Hillion ( 237.5 metres (779 ft) long, 27.6 metres (90 ft 7 in) high), the Viaduc du Préto at Pléneuf-Val-André and the Viaduc de Port-Nieux at Fréhel.
