Provincial Past (23)
For this Provincial Past we are going to the north of country to County Donegal in 1985. C 166 is seen in Stranorlar Depot. This was built on the site of the old railway station. It opened as a standard gauge railway in 1863 but was narrow gauge by 1894. The County Donegal Railway closed in 1960 and the tracks were removed.
C 166 was delivered new to CIE in 1966. It spent time in Ballina, Galway and Donnybrook (Dublin) before moving to Stranorlar in 1984. It was withdrawn in 1991. 01/07/1985
