Nice colour picture on back of August 2024 BACKTRACK - a steam loco being turned at Kingscourt on an IRRS excursion in the early 1960's. Huge number of people involved -Although a long time ago, anybody recognise those involved ?

The current Rai!way Magazine has an article on the proposals for developing Irish railways - including a new branch from Derry to Letterkenny. No mention of 4-8-0s though...

They would have to actually build a completely new line, as both the Pennyburn and circuitous Strabane lines would not be possible to reopen without knocking down half of Derry. One may asume that they would continue the existing Waterside line across the road, past the old CDR station, and across a brand new bridge south of the existing one, probably at an oblique angle; then off down the GN for a short distance, then a completely new line due west. Best route would be down to Carrigans, then directly across to Manorcunningham.
