Athlone - Mullingar line

simon_24

I live close to the now derelict Athlone/mullingar line, I was wondering does anyone has pictures of it in its heyday, trains, stations, from the 70s or 80s, I'm only a newcomer to the area and always wondered what it was like???

They are making the Dublin Galway Walking way or something. It is going to be started in 2014. On the railway there was irish rail people on the line so it is very likey that the railway is going to be a walkway or something

Nothing to be sorry about, I love reading the answers to your questions. The answer in 126 was hilarious, now we wouldn'd have got that answer if you didn't ask the question.

No I haven't seen anyone else working on the line.
I think they only cleared it because of pressure from the council about how it looked.

People from Irish Rail and CIE want to fence off the line

If they still keeped working on the line they could have reopened it anytime. But they just left it now if they have to fix the briges lift up the rails to put on more sleepers and so on

Seems to me Mullingar would be a good spot for a Drogheda style depot one day. Given the economy one day not very soon obviously

Some photo's of then and now on the line

The bottom map (in green) that shows the reduction in rail over the century is kind of sad really.... But most of the lines must have been pure pipe dreams, literally roads to nowhere...

Where did the Dublin Sligo line fork off to go to Cavan?

Looks like it was at Inny Junction.

Is the Athlone Mullingar line to do with the Streamstown to Clara line because on the map you can see Streamstown near Moate and it is on the line.
