A sad reminder of the old Galway to Clifden railway line

This photo shows the bridge at Recess in Connemara which was a part of the old rail link from Galway to the most Westerly town in Ireland. They say that this line was the most beutiful journey you could take on a European rail journey. Sadly it is no more, and maybe if it was, it would be of great use nowadays both as an service for locals and a great travelling experience for tourists. The British certainly knew how to build railways and this country had a marvellous rail network which would be invaluable today if it was still inexistence.
Our weather is now showery but still really nice and mild and this welcome rain will make the country nice and green for all of you tourists coming our way over the next few weeks. If you want me then please contact me soon as my time is being constantly booked up.
