DUNDALK, NEWRY & GREENORE RAILWAY

The 26 mile Dundalk, Newry and Greenore Railway. It was an Irish broad gauge railway and was conceived in the 1860's to provide a link between the towns in its title and the London and North Western Railway port at Greenore, from where a ferry service operated to Holyhead. It was opened between Greenore and Dundalk in 1873 and extended to Newry in 1876. The company operated a hotel at Greenore. The L&NWR owned the railway and at first provided its locomotives and rolling stock, with the locomotives coming from its Crewe Works. The railway passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 but an agreement was reached in 1933 for the line to be worked by the Great Northern Railway, mainly using Class JT 2-4-2T's. The line was closed in December 1951.
