Journeying from a Railway to a Greenway

[@gungagalunga9040]

Fascinating! Having cycled the greenway today I was interested in seeing old footage of the train tackling the climb into Barnagh! Thank you!

Thanks for your kind words

Noel Harnett, Rathkeale Well done to all involved what a fantastic facility we have now. On a personal level it brings back so many memories my father was stationed in Barnagh and Rathkeale and we lived in Barnagh up to the time it closed

Dedication and Determination of the Great Southern Greenway group has to be admired. Through many lows, and few highs they pushed on with this project and as a result of this , we have one of the finest Greenways in Europe. Thanks for yer unrelenting efforts.

It makes sense not to leave this old railway line not to be abandoned. Obviously, land grabbers anonymous have objected, but if their privacy wasn't affected by the passing of trains, how might it be affected by walkers and cyclists. Congratulations to all involved ! Very interesting documentary.

Thank you to all those involved in producing this very interesting historical documentary. I have just now found it online. My roots are here.

I really enjoyed watching this story.The railway line at Rathkeale was my playground as a young boy growing up in Rathkeale .I also remember getting the train from Ballingraine to Knock Shrine .

I congratulate the great southern trail on all their achievements in the past 25 years, great work by a voluntary group. Hopefully it is the start of great things to come for this excellent greenway.

@@liamomahony1779 I’ve cycled it the last two Sunday’s. Once on my recumbent trike which I put up a video on KZbin and the last Sunday on my recumbent bike. Both day I met and spoke to very nice people. The start of your greenway at Rathkeale look fantastic and is very inviting. I had the nicest milkshake I ever had when I finished. It will be great to see new business opening. I will be bringing a small group of cyclists in the near future. Once again Well Done. I hope that we get our Quiet Man Greenway sometime.

Hilarious how CIE employees are delighted and smiling congradulation themselves on another railway closed.

[@ethanbarry4736]

It’s all new now

Evidence of a fantastic 'can do' community effort.

[@martinwalsh3228]

This railway line should be reopened to stop 1) Pollution, 2) Car Accidents/Road Deaths & 3) Pollution there is need to get 24 hour trains in summer & St. Stephen's Day trains too.

[@liamomahony1779]

Martin, It's a pity it was ever closed.
