Yea there was a railway but it's long gone - the odd track tracing is barely visable now on the banks of the Shannon (you've been here? / where are you from?)

Thats amazing - I know George & Cora well, in fact their daughter has recently bought a house a few doors from mine.
I'm a Kildare man myself, haven't been to Banagher as such, but I'd be familiar with the wider area.
Very nice! I think there was a railway in Banagher as well, wasn't there....?
