    In 1916, the metre-gauge railway, affectionately known as "Le Petit Train", was commissioned to transport travelers and goods between Lannion and Plestin Les Grèves. The operation was entrusted to the Compagnie de Chemins de Fer Armoricains. This connection also contributed significantly to the development of St Efflam and St Michel en Grève, with their beautiful beaches, as seaside resorts.
    Nevertheless, even their potential for the movement of goods is not enough to generate profits. At the end of the 1920s, the increasing spread of the automobile also presented itself as a serious competitor. The railway line is finally closed in 1937. The commemorative plaque, near the former train station in Ploumilliau, tells the brief history of this railway line. Today, the EV4 (Vélomaritime) cycle path runs along the old railway line.
