Bernard Le Jeune , 60 years old since December 5, is a local figure in Callac, both professionally, and at cycling and association levels, notably with his involvement in the PLB muco. He returned on January 4, 1982 to the Breton network, in Paimpol. He stayed there for a year before being transferred to Callac on January 1, 1983. Thirty-eight years spent serving users or customers, with one concern in mind: to offer them a quality service and to keep the station running. the best.
?Serious, always ready to provide information, to find the best match, all with a smile,? they say of someone with the rail network in their blood. His grandfather knew the steam locomotive and his father Yves was station master at Callac, replacing Fran?ois Harnay, former deputy mayor of Callac and father of a named Carole, who was to become Bernard's wife. and, later, the first woman mayor of Callac.
Jean-Yves Le Magoariec, from Callac, was hired in 1983 and in 1984 became a freight train, railcar and TER driver. He will also be a trainer for young recruits. He drove his last train on April 1.
Denis Le Cam was also a driver. Returned in September 1985, he spent 35 years driving the various machines entrusted to him during his career, without any accident. ?During my career, I was able to appreciate the contact with the customers, with the young people who came to see how the machine worked and I was able to observe nature and the magnificent landscapes which changed colors with each season, from Carhaix in Paimpol ?.
Trainees have been recruited, and I had the pleasure of observing them in action over the last week, hopefully securing the continued staffing of Callac station for the foreseeable future.
