Clifden

Clifden Station looking west. The Galway to Clifden Branch (sometimes called the Connemara Railway) was built as a light railway but to standard Irish gauge opening on 1 January 1895 and closing in April 1935. Clifden station has been reveloped as the restaurant and bar for the Station House Hotel. A massive new signal box style upper floor has been added at the buffer stops end. In fact the actual signal box was at the Galway end of the station. Photographed on 7 March 2020 but see image 19746 taken in 1988.
