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.

Lots of details about the two Dromad stations by Brian Haworth Here

derangedlemur Thanks for location.

The engine appears to say 6T on it.

Thank you!

Is this the same engine? I'm not trainspotty enough to work it out -

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.

A month to go!

I love this shot, the two engines one, ready for its journey and pumping out the smoke while the other is standing there biding its time. I've been trying to locate the station on Streetview but the place has changed so much since 1959 I am struggling. I really would love to identify the two engines and establish their types and service!

Swordscookie The one on the right is an ex Tralee and Dingle Light Railway Hunslet engine brought up when that line closed in late 40's/early50's
