| Post subject: | The West Clare Railway |
This thread is the result of reading an article in The Railway Magazine - from the May 1951 edition! We are in Ireland, specifically in County Clare. The May 1951 edition of the magazine carried an article on the 3ft gauge light railway which ran from Ennis to Kilrush and Kilkee. The total length of the railway was about 53 miles. The first post gives some consideration to the history of the line and then looks at the section of the journey between Ennis and Corofin. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/04/08/th ... to-corofin |

The journey along the West Clare continues. We are now firmly in the territory of what was built as the South Clare Railway. This length of the journey takes us from Quilty to Moyasta Junction. ... http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/05/05/th ... to-moyasta |

We have almost reached the end of the story of the West Clare Railway and the study of its route. The post below completes the details of the remainder of the line, covering the route from Moyasta to Kilrush and Cappagh Pier. One further post will follow eventually which will look at the Locomotives and Rolling Stock on the line. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/07/07/th ... ppagh-pier |
