    An ideal place for a bird to build its nest without fear of disturbance. So more so in 1959 than 31 years previously. Londonderry Sentinel - Tuesday 10 July 1928:
    A wagtail has built her nest underneath boards covering the points the Clogher Valley Bailway line at Maguiresbridge Station. Although the points are moved each time a train passes over the nest, the bird sits calmly hatching her four eggs.

    At wikipedia we learn it opened in 1859, closed in 1957, just a couple of years before this shot.

    Barbara Griggs mourned the passing of the Clogher Valley line in her column in Ireland's Saturday Night on Saturday 04 May 1968
    I was with friends in a car coming from Enniskillen via the Clogher Valley. a region I once had a weaknoss for. I knew it when the old Clogher Valley Railway meandered through woods, on the roadside, and along streets of wee towns. Romantic, charming, and out of this world. It ran from Maguiresbridge to Tynan. There was Augher, Clogher, FivemiletwAm, Baliygawley, Caledon: all delightful wee villages. except for big Aughnacloy with its wide square. its markets, and all that, and the railway workshops down the hill. It was, so to speak. a diadem of a valley, the towns and villages strung on it like jewels. To-day? Mere unimpressive items on a wide trunk road. They'd lost their characteristic background.

    The 1906 railway map shows how it is the terminus of the Clogher Valley railway as well as a stop on the Dundalk to Enniskillen route. The Clogher Valley narrow gauge closed in 1942.

Now there's a Steam Engine for ya!
