but that’s all that’s available of the line. © G. Conmy.

This could be a great heritage line. The beautiful country side the romantic history.....

Thanks for this history video. I spent some time in 2010 tracing the branchline route but found it very difficult. Your video has helped me very much. I liked the brief glimpse of Clifden Station too…I had two Uncles work on the Clifden branch (and one on the Marconi Railway) and I always enjoy seeing photos of the line. Regards, Rob in a Bournemouth, England.

Thank you for your comment. The Killala ine I found very interesting and the bretland train was a bonus. The Clifden station photo was taken when the line had closed. The track at the Galway end was lifted, the track in the remained for a short time.

Like the Western Rail Corridor Galway onto Sligo this section of Railway line should be reopened too to stop 1) Pollution, 2) Car Accidents/Road Deaths & 3) Traffic Jams.
