Lough Swilly Railway overseas?

[spudfan]

Watching "Where Eagles Dare" recently, Richard Burton and the boys were going through a railway yard. On one of the walls "LSR" was painted in big letters. I wondered whether that had anything to do with the Lough Swilly Railway. Seems they were a bigger outfit than I thought.

I remember seeing a "Lough Swilly"  branded artic heading South on the M6 through the West Midlands during the late 80s. 

Not sure if the tractor & refrigerated trailer was branded "Lough Swilly Transport" or "Lough Swilly Freight" . 

But nice to imagine the Swilly was shipping fish direct from Donegal to the Billingsgate Market.

Regularly drove the M1/M6 between London, Wales and North during late 80s-early 90s, one and only time I saw a Lough Swilly truck

The Swilly operated their own passenger and road freight services for over 50 years after they closed rail servicrs in August 1953.
