Video of the ‘Slieve Callan’ returning to WCR

February 19th, 2010

In August 2009, the 117-year-old Slieve Callan was returned to service on the West Clare Railway after an absence of more than half a century. The locomotive is now running on 2.5km of restored narrow-gauge track at Moyasta Junction. Locals hope to restore more of the line between Kilkee and Kilrush and have appealed for the co-operation of landowners.
