PHOTO GALLERY: DOWNPATRICK & COUNTY DOWN RAILWAY VISIT, JUNE 2009

On the 13th of June the IHRG committee visited the Downpatrick & County Down Railway in Northern Ireland to gain an insight into the requirements needed to operate a preserved line. Many thanks to all the staff, who gave us a very warm welcome.
