Kingscourt Branch Book

[Branchline121]

I really like the Navan to Kingscourt railway, but I’ve realised I have very few books about it… so I was wondering if anybody knew some good books they could recommend about/featuring the railway. Thanks in advance!

I don't know if any books as such devoted to the Kingscourt branch,but Colm O Callaghans book from a few years ago had some great images on it.

Check out Amazon if you want the book.

A paper on the Meath Line was published in an IRRS Journal during the early 1950s possibly by J O'Meara, the Journal and Meath Road paper may be accessible in the IRRS Library at Heuston.

The paper was fairly comprehensive detailing the lines history, description of the stations and traffic handled (early 1950!).

There is a good selection of Meath Line stations on the IRRS Flickr site well worth the annual subscription.
