Description: The first Irish railway was established as early as 1834 & by 1914 the network covered the entire island. The development of the internal combustion engine & the inherent unprofitability of many of the smaller & more remote lines resulted in a cull of the system in the course of the 20th century. This text looks at these lost railways.
