The Cavan and Leitrim Railway
Dromod, Ireland - Welcome to the Cavan and Leitrim Railway website. This website has been produced by the supporters of the
Cavan and Leitrim Railway. The main reason that this website has been produced is to provide people, both
enthusiasts and the slightly interested with an indepth look at how the Cavan and Leitrim Railway is being
brought back to its former glory after nearly forty years of dereliction. The Website also has a photographic
archive made up of photographs that were taken while the original Cavan and Leitrim railway was still in
existance. Mainly black and white, these photographs serve as a permanent record of what the Cavan and
Leitrim Railway was like in the bygone era of the Irish Narrow-Gauge railways.

Vale of Rheidol Railway
Aberystwyth, Wales - A blast of the whistle and the hiss of steam and you’re away! Sit back, relax and let us take you on a nostalgic journey through some of Wales’ most spectacular scenery.
Travelling on the Vale of Rheidol Railway is the finest way to see the stunning Rheidol Valley. Opened in 1902, the railway has been delighting passengers young and old for over a century.
From the comfort of your carriage watch the scenery passing by. See the countryside change as you travel through wide open fields, woodland and rugged mountain scenery, the line twisting and turning as it clings to the hillside. Listen to the sound of a powerful narrow gauge steam locomotive working hard to climb 700ft (200m) in the 11 ¾ miles from Aberystwyth to Devil’s Bridge.
Birds of prey such as Red Kite and Buzzards are regularly seen soaring high above the valley floor and breathtaking views can be enjoyed by all.
The line is a masterpiece of engineering, opened in 1902 to carry lead ore, timber and passenger traffic. The narrow track gauge allows the railway to follow the contours of the terrain with many sharp curves and steep gradients which add to the railway’s charm.
