Castlerea Railway Museum, Main Street, Castlerea,
Co Roscommon. Tel: +353 (0)94 9620181. One of the major attractions
at the Castlerea Railway Museum is locomotive A55, a Metropolitan
Vickers diesel electric dating from 1956, which was purchased
from Iarnród Éireann minus its machinery and moved
to the premises where it was converted into a snug. A Railway
Museum has been built around the locomotive, and the overall
effect suggests that it has arrived through the wall of the building
into the bar. Location:
In the centre of Castlerea.
