facebook.com🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚃🚋 Way back in 2015 - we had ambitions to have it reopened by Spring 2016. How misled we were by #KerryCountyCouncil’s ambitions then !
Very interesting piece here from early 1960’s, in #Ireland. 🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚋🚃
Back in 2002, we were still thriving - Where is the willingness from #KerryCountyCouncil, to reopen it ? It’s shocking that various other #Projects locally, get priority, while a huge potential #Tourism draw in the region, is ignored ! 🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚃🚋
This is an astonishing #Engineering feat, in 48 hours, in #USA. 🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚃🚋
Two pics of the Lynton railway, with a train waiting at Woody Bay station. Loco 762 is brand new and a replica of those that operated on the line prior to closure in 1935. See also the video publishes below................ 🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚞🚋🚃
This is what can be achieved if you set your mind to it. The Lynton & Barnstaple narrow gauge railway closed in 1935. Volunteers have re-created a 1.5 mile section of it on the former track bed almost from scratch. The old station building at Woody Bay was the only remaining intact piece of infrastructure. In spite of being in the middle of open country, the railway is very successful and is attracting tourists from far and wide. The County Council recognise the value of the railway to tourism and support the Preservation Society's work, which includes protecting the still un-opened sections of line for possible future expansion. For more info see www.lynton-rail.co.uk or look up their Facebook page Kerry County Council please take note. Please forward this to our TDs and other political reps to let them see what could be achieved in Tralee. 🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚃🚋
We could be having this equivalent - only that #KCC, in 🌹#Tralee , have prevented it, on ..........🚂#TraleeandDingleRailway - but why not have it now ?
What we should be planning for at this time, at - 🚂#TraleeandDingleSteamRailway ?
Old colour footage of The Tralee & Dingle Steam Railway Line - About ten minutes in duration. 🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚋🚃
Visited #Kingston #Ontario, in #Canada and spotted this beauty - 1095 ! Can our Members give us the lowdown on it ? 🚂#ReopenTraleeandDingleRailway🚃🚋
It's been suggested that by the time KCC get round to doing something with their T & D railway, most of us volunteers will be either in rest homes or wheelchairs. So here's the perfect solution for the geriatric permanent way engineer............
