Home Projects

Since the inception of the Supporters’ Association it has always had a pro-active role on the railway and what follows are detailed articles relating to each of the major projects since that time.  The association has also been vocal in their support of the completion of the re-build of the ex-County Donegal railcars which presently are in store uncompleted at Douglas Station. They attend regular meetings with the relevant government department and in 2003 a preservation policy was put in place thereby securing the future of the line in a way sympathetic to its origins, ensuring that they are consulted when any major projects are considered by the railway's management.  We are always looking for suggestions for future projects and welcome suggestions to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
