Last Days of the Loughrea Branch 3
Branch train arrived at Loughrea c 1975. Usual passenger accommodation on the train was one coach warmed by electric storage heaters which were plugged into the station overnight! On one famous occasion they forgot to unplug them before the train moved off -the result was set of heaters on the platform and a giant hole in the side of the coach. There after a non screw plug was utilised!
