Downpatrick Railway Museum
|
| Address: Market Street, Downpatrick, County Down, BT30 6LZ, Northern Ireland, UK. Tel.: +44 28 4461 5779 Toll Free: |
| The railway museum is the only preserved Irish Standard Gauge (5 ft 3 in) railway operating in Ireland. This makes the Downpatrick Railway Museum a unique place to visit. It is a representation of the former Belfast and County Down Railway terminus in Downpatrick, which closed in 1950, two years after the network was taken into state-ownership. In addition to guided tours of the exhibitions and workshops, on running days visitors can experience the delights of traditional railway travel. Steam locomotives from the 1920s and 30s, or diesels from the 60s will take the passengers in 50 - 100 year old carriages from Downpatrick, past the rebuilt Loop Platform to a platform with direct access to a Viking King's burial site. |
