    The Donegal Railway Heritage Centre has published 3 new books on the CDR since 2017. The Heritage Centre has its main focus on Drumboe in the early part of 2021. Gathering a lot of material on the Swilly at the moment myself for another project in addition to Strabane.

    My eyes deceived me. Is that the NCC 2-4-4T?

    Some unusual and unpublished Donegal photos and another gem from the Swilly. Thanks again Jim

    Can I also thank Ciaran for his fantastic work and know from personal experience from writing articles and researching unidentified photos etc just how much time and patience this all requires. Will enjoy going through the latest archive in detail over the next few days.

    Mods please delete this post only as it is repeated by mistake? The other identical post with replies is fine. Thanks

    Top photo is of the passenger station being demolished in September 1970 looking towards the City Centre. Bottom photo is of the goods station. Nothing remains except the water tower at the closed and defunct Foyle Valley Railway Museum.

    The photo wechavecfrom Derry Journal from September 1970 shows the station remains being demolished. Here is the only photo I have which is not good enough for the website.

    Thanks we have a photo from the Derry Journal from September 1970 showing the site being cleared. We are are not able to use that photo as it is poor quality so have ordered a new print from the Derry Journal but delayed by Covid!

    Interesting as we have photos of Foyle Road being demolished in September 1970 from the Derry Journal. This was to.make room for the new road scheme that became the Foyle Embabkmemt dual csrriageway.

    Have the same problem as an Historian trying to identify and date photos correctly. Acquired a CDR photo last week labelled Ballyshannon but actually an unusual angle of Stranorlar
  20. airfixfan
    That tends to happen a lot when you see similar photos on the same date/place by some photographers who have travelled together. For example for an August 1959 weekend on the CDR 3 of the 4 photographers who travelled together have since published their own books/articles of the same weekend.

    Some NIR Blue in a photo feature on the NIR GMs in current issue of Rail Express

    Why does Translink not have an Heritage Officer in NI to protect important railway buildings from demolition. Carrichue closed 1954 and demolished 2 months ago after somebody enquired about buying the former station building for a house despite its listed status!

    The Railwaystation Man filmed at Cashelnagore. See it is up for sale again!

    Lovely rear view for the Modeller from this article in January issue of Backtrack.

    There is also a film that features Carlingford station in an old B/W film that I saw many moons ago.
