Ever wanted to step back in time?

Cavan and Leitrim Railway offers a unique glimpse into Ireland’s railway past. Once one of the busiest narrow gauge lines in the country, it played a vital role in transporting coal through the region.

Today, the restored site is home to steam and diesel trains, vintage buses and a working railway experience. Take a ride, explore the engine sheds and learn the story behind this important piece of local heritage.

A highlight is “Nancy,” a 1908 steam locomotive brought back to life after a 22 year restoration, now proudly steaming once again in Leitrim.
