    The narrow gauge track was initially laid to promote and highlight the presence of the former railway to the passing public and was always intended as that, The plan is to use standard gauge track and trains and have it open to the public in the not too distant future, Standard gauge track has already being laid at the site and this work is ongoing,check out the link below…. https://www.connemararailway.ie/ Donations are welcome Regards ttc0169
