THE RAIL DONEGAL (DVD/VIDEO)

County Donegal Railway Restoration Limited, The Old Station House, DONEGAL TOWN.

€28.50 (DVD), €23.00 (VHS)

The original cine film that this modern video/DVD is produced from was taken in the late 1950s by Norman Campion, a milling engineer and industrial heritage enthusiast and covers the County Donegal Railways in operation in their final years. The CDRRL have done a good job with the material provided and commentary has been added to portray the film in its appropriate context.

Many railway industrial heritage features are featured in the film, as is a visit to the Killybegs carpet factory and operations at Gweedore turf burning power station.

Norman Campion is to be congratulated on his foresight in recording these scenes for posterity and the CDRRL for converting the film to a format allowing it to be seen by many.
