Clonmacnoise and West Offaly Railway

The Clonmacnoise and West Offaly Railway was a narrow-gauge railway and former tourist attraction in the Midlands of Ireland. Primarily built as an industrial line for hauling newly cut peat, this 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge railway was operated by the peat-harvesting company Bord na Móna and conveyed visitors over a 9-km line running through Blackwater Bog, near Shannonbridge, County Offaly. A small diesel locomotive hauled a single 53-seat passenger coach.
