has gloss | eng: The West Clare Railway (WCR) operated in County Clare, Ireland between 1887 and 1961. This 914 mm (3 ft) gauge narrow gauge railway ran from the county town of Ennis, via numerous stopping-points along the West Clare coast to two termini, at Kilrush and Kilkee (the routes diverging at Moyasta Junction). The system was the last operating narrow gauge passenger system in Ireland and connected with the mainline rail system at Ennis, where a station still stands today for bus and train services to Limerick. A train connection to Galway will re-open in December 2009. Intermediate stops included Ennistymon, Lahinch and Miltown Malbay. |
