“The Wee Donegal in pictures – An illustrated talk by Charles P Friel”

• Saturday 17^th August, 2:30pm.
• Venue: Donegal Railway Museum

Using many previously unseen photographs, well-known railway historian, photographer, and preservationist Charles P Friel will recreate a journey over all 124 miles of the County Donegal Railway – from Victoria Road in Derry to Letterkenny, Glenties and Killybegs. The first part of the talk finishes with a trip from Ballyshannon to Donegal Town. After the break, Charles will recount the last day of public trains, some subsequent events and the lifting trains before, much more happily, reviewing the many CDRJC vehicles which survive in preservation – including some of the work on Drumboe in Whitehead.

This is a Ticketed Event and will also be Broadcast online; further details will be published before the end of July.

This event is part of our National Heritage Week Programme
