Dugort Harbour

[jhb171achill]

The fictitious Castletown West and Dugort Harbour line lost its passenger services in 1975 along with Loughrea. From then until closure a few years later it was goods only. 

In the last few years, re-engined A and C class locomotives were often seen there, though Cravens coaches were rare, as they were almost without exception used on main lines.

However our intrepid photographer caught A23R with a Craven on the branch service one day in summer 1975.

Here it arrives, and the loco A23R is shown backing onto its train again before departure.
