Morlaix viaduct

About

The Morlaix viaduct is a railway bridge, of the viaduct type, located in the city of Morlaix which allows the crossing of the Morlaix river and the service to the city station by the line from Paris-Montparnasse to Brest. On 29 January 1943, as part of Allied strategic bombing, eight American Boston fighter-bombers of the Royal Air Force dropped 43 bombs, accidentally killing eighty residents. A single bomb damaged the viaduct which was quickly repaired. The La Méaugon viaduct, which is also important but located far from any habitation, was not bombed.
