Lost Railways of Dundalk and the North East

Facts, figures, dates of opening and closure and vital statistics of the lost railways of the counties in the north east of the Republic of Ireland (counties in Northern Ireland have been featured in previous volumes). Dundalk, railway centre and dubbed 'The Railway Town', is the natural focus for the book. Here the Great Northern Railway of Ireland had its workshops next to the main line railway from Dublin to Belfast, here the Irish North Western Railway snaked its way across the country to Londonderry. These lines, and many others, are included in this account of the region's railways before most of them closed in the 1950s and 60s. The book also contains over fifty period photographs and locations featured include: Dundalk, Navan, Castletown, Oldcastle, Cavan, Dunboyne, Batterstown, Drumree, Kilmessan Junction, Bective, Gibbstown, Wilkinstown, Nobber, Kilmainham Wood, Kingscourt, Athboy, Drogheda, Kells, Dromin Junction, Ardee, Greenore, Newbliss, Clones, Carrickmacross, Cootehill, Monaghan, Redhills, Ballyhaise, Loreto College, Belturbet, and Hill of Down.
