Book Description
This book tells the story of the railways of one particular county in Northern Ireland. It includes the lines of the Great Northern Railway of Ireland, the Sligo Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway (SLNCR) and the narrow gauge Clogher Valley Railway. It includes coverage of the buses operated by the SLNCR and the local Erne Bus Company.
The book begins with some entertaining personal memories of the two authors, both of whom have fond childhood memories of the region. This is followed by an outline of the railway history of the county before moving on to a collection of nostalgic photographs.
Fermanagh's entire railway system was closed on 30 September 1957, the Clogher Valley Railway having disappeared in 1942.
Fermanagh's Railways is likely to be a very popular book for those interested in Irish railways and particularly the rural branch lines. It is lavishly illustrated and will have a strong appeal to the nostalgia market. It will also appeal to those with a more general interest in the history of Co Fermanagh.
