Schull
The former Schull station building and platform, with an extension under construction. View is from the west where the 3ft gauge line from Skibbereen terminated except for a goods only extension down to Schull Pier. The line opened in 1886. Services were suspended between April 1944 and December 1945 due to coal shortages and again from January 1947. Service was never resumed thereafter and formal closure came in September 1952. The railway was formally known as the West Carberry Tramways and Light Railways Co Ltd but more commonly known as the Schull and Skibbereen Tramway and Light Railway or just the Schull and Skibbereen Railway.
