LETTERKENNY 
Plans showing the evolution of Letterkenny railway stations using available information.

If you look at the insert for 1901 you’ll see reference to 1 or 2 photos.  Does anyone have any other photos showing the early L&LSR station from other angles?  It would enable completion of a 1901 plan.

The original jpg images did show enough resolution.   Hopefully these PDFs will be much better.

@Chris_w Thank you for these very interesting maps. The development of Letterkenny is particularly fascinating. Sorry I cannot help you with the photos.

Photos pre 1930 scarce for both the Swilly and the CDR.

Hello.   This is an update on my evolution of stations plans for Donegal and Derry.

I have found good ‘homes’ for them now:

- Donegal Archives (each station is a single PDF file of multiple pages) - available to view at the Archive.

- Donegal Railway Heritage Museum (same format) - available to view at the Museum.

- University College Dublin (Map Collections at UCD and on the Web) - link to UCD website and link to Flickr below:

These will be updated when stations are finished / updated.   Currently available:

- Derry / Londonderry (detailed plans and a Guide)

- Strabane (includes Lifford and former FVR junction)

- Stranorlar 

- Donegal (Town) (includes temporary terminus at Druminin / Lough Eske)

- Killybegs 

- Ballyshannon 

- Glenties

- Letterkenny 

Now working on intermediate stations.
