Sligo Folk Park
This ex CIE Park Royal coach of 1955 vintage, with Commonwealth bogies, on display at Sligo Folk Park has been repainted into the early CIE green livery with no obvious identification. The inset shows an enlargement of the notice fitted below the window on the right hand end door and the accompanying commentary on the handsets issued to visitors claims that this particular coach was used on the last train to run on the remaining section of the Sligo Limerick line to close. The closure to passengers occurred on 5th April 1976. [Collooney to Claremorris was officially closed in 1975.]
