The Lady is still there, just in case you were concerned !

That narrow gauge locomotive, Lady Kathleen, one of four that belonged to Cavan and Leitrim Railway, is on display, along with the passenger carriage, in this fabulous museum. Many, many more to see there for the railway and transport enthusiasts.

But don't forget about Belturbet, where the GNR met C&L in the past, 1957 - 1995.

Museum will be reopen after the winter break and we will announce the details soon !

One year ago today, we lost a great friend and a truly beautiful soul.
Mary O'Reilly was a dedicated volunteer and a valued part of our museum community for many years, and in her final years she also served as our treasurer.

As a long-standing former violinist with the Rotterdam Orchestra, she brought her passion for music into Belturbet Railways Museum. Thanks to her, many wonderful musical events took place here in recent years. She left a space that cannot be filled and is fondly remembered.

Rest in Peace, Mary. You will always be missed.
