Phil3150 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Never mind it’s Mothering Sunday, today is the sixtieth anniversary of the closure of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway. Far more significant in my eyes! And, yes, I’m wearing a tin hat. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishrail201 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 We were proud to commemorate this by having Nancy being handed over to the Cavan and Leitrim Railway on 30th March 2019, bringing steam back to the railway. We also had a volunteer who drove number 2 at stradbally Friday and drove Nancy the following day! This has probably not happened on the narrow gauge in the ROI since the C&L closed as Ireland's last steam exclusive line.
