WRENNEIRE Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 If anyone is anywhere near Mohill this weekend the MRSI are displaying a small layout at Mohill as part of their Summer festival Mohill was on the Narrow Gauge Cavan & Leitrim line and they are attempting to reopen some of the old line as a cycle path and walkway Sat & Sun in the village Be sure to drop by and say hello Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Guess this proposal if it goes through will prevent the (new) C&L from ever getting beyond Mohill. Greenways are the new black, it would seem. Quote
Garfield Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Guess this proposal if it goes through will prevent the (new) C&L from ever getting beyond Mohill. Greenways are the new black, it would seem. The C&L group never planned to go beyond Mohill, in fairness. In fact, they'll be lucky if they ever reach it. It'll be interesting to see the proposals for the greenway, and I'm sure there'll be a bit of craic around the town with the festival. Edited August 13, 2015 by Garfield Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I'm sure that is quite right, was thinking out loud purely in theoretical terms. It's a pity there isn't as much hoo-hah about preservation as there is about greenways, but that's Ireland for you. Quote

RANGERMOUSE Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Typical when I'm not home this weekend. I was home last weekend and saw the old goods shed getting a tidy up. The greenway, as far as I know, is planned to go North out of town and therefore wouldn't affect the line from Dromad. It is a lack of money and will that would prevent the line from being reopened and I'm sure the people who's driveway's and garden's the line would have to cross near Dromad would have something to say too not to mention the farmers. Hopefully it will be a great weekend and I've no doubt there'll be loads of craic to be had. Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I knew that the C&L purchased Mohill station house way back as a future station to run into and I was aware there were difficulties, but somehow there seems to be a local political and community drive behind greenways that is noticably absent in preservation.

I hope you don't mind me correcting you on this bit... it was a local community group in Mohill that purchased the station house and it was restored by FÁS workers. Quote
