I was there a couple of years ago. It hasn't changed much. About the only difference was that it was raining.

This is the Narrow Guage Station of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway which closed on 1st April 1959. I would presume that it has changed quite a bit since then.

This shot really caught my fancy with the curved descent to road level and then running beside the road, it is just so Irish, I love it!

Called a tramway, I believe, when running beside a road. Great shot from the days of the long togs. Keep up the good work.

Very evocative photo with the winter sun.
No.6T was one of the ex Tralee & Dingle Railway locomotives, transferred firstly to the West Clare section after closure of the Tralee system in 1952, and finally moving to the Cavan & Leitrim in 1957 to deal with the increasing coal traffic from the Arigna mines. Its sister locomotive 5T is currently in a dismantled state in Tralee.
