Corrib Viaduct
Remains of the viaduct that carried the one-time Connemara Railway from Galway to Clifden over the River Corrib at Galway, seen here, looking from north to south, on 21st June 2017. The line opened in 1895 and closed in 1935. According to a News item posted on 20th June 2020 on the Connemara Railway website (www.connemararailway.ie), a scheme to restore the former Maam Cross station, roughly midway along the line, and lay a short section of track on which to bring trains back to the Connemara region after 85 years, is still to go ahead despite the current situation with the coronavirus pandemic.
