West Clare Railway
...
The West Clare Railway, situated at Moyasta Junction on the N67 coast road half way between Kilrush and Kilkee, is open all year round providing memories of Ireland's rural narrow-gauge travel in the first half of the twentieth century.
It is the railway that inspired Percy French's song, "Are Ye Right, There, Michael?" which made it world famous and the full story of which is told in its museum in the old station house along with relics of West Clare's rural and musical past.
A most interesting and historic collection of locomotive power is headed by the railway's own No 5, "Slieve Callan" of 1892, in full steam working order.
