Blennerville
The Tralee & Dingle Railway was a narrow gauge line in County Kerry, in the far south-west of Ireland, running for 32 miles between the two towns of its title through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sadly, it closed to passengers in 1939 and to freight in 1953. Forty years later, two miles of line from a new station by the Aquadrome in Tralee (the rest of the line to the original terminus had been lost under redevelopments) to Blennerville, with its famous windmill, were reopened as a heritage steam railway. Sadly, by 2013 this had closed. A consortium in 2015 looked at its possible reopening but so far this has not come to fruition. This view shows the overgrown platform and tracks at Blennerville, with the windmill in the background, on 24th June 2017.
