The County Donegal Railway network is legendary. Its arteries were once a lifeline for the county’s most isolated rural communities. Most of the 200-mile network is now closed, but a short spectacular section along the shore of Lough Finn has been reopened. Thanks to the Glenties railway restoration project, passengers can once again gaze at some of Europe’s best scenery from a train. The reopening in 1995 commemorated the centenary of the railway’s original completion in 1895.
