Killybegs Railways

these railroads tracks are all that is left from the Killybegs railway station.  They go right to the end of the pier.  The following info is from Wikipedia:  The railway station was part of the Donegal Railway Company line from Donegal to Killybegs.  The station opened 18 October 1893 and closed on 1 January 1960.
In February 1924 the goods shed was burgled and four cases of whiskey were taken



The last two photos are historical photos of the railway that I found in a search.

Killybegs terminus of the branch from Strabane, a railcar just visible behind the train shed, probably running round the van in the foreground.  (the year is unknown)
