There's some very interesting footage in that website, including film of the County Donegal around the time of closure. I'd never seen film of the shunting tractor Phoenix moving until now....

One fab little rarity in that vid. Can just see remains of Henderson’s Siding trailing in at Bleach Green. Mike Henderson, son of the last owner, is a keen modeller. The narrator R G Morton was a noted author on N I railway matters, and I think a teacher at Belfast Inst

Grenfell Morton was the author of the first Irish railway book I owned, and it probably played a major role in kickstarting the obsession!
