RE: The Cavan and Leitrim Railway again. ....
It has taken me a while to get round to completing this article! ….

Saturday 6th May 2023 was the first time that I had been able to visit the Cavan & Leitrim at Dromod. A planned visit in 2020 was prevented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated lockdown which was enforced for our safety.

We were en-route, on 6th May, from Co. Donegal to Dublin after two great weeks following the route of the Burtonport Extension Railway between Burtonport and Letterkenny.

I had been intending to drop in to see the preservation society at Dromod either on the way to Co. Donegal or on the return journey. The second option worked in best with our travel arrangements.

In April 1920, a couple of paragraphs in The Railway Magazine focussed on a new experimental Railmotor constructed by New South Wales Railways.

Re: The Railway Centenary in 1925
1825-1925: The Railway Centenary Celebrations at Darlington, 1st to 3rd July 1925 – The Railway Magazine, August 1925

In the year that we mark the bicentenary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. I have found a copy of the August 1925 edition of the Railway Magazine which marked the centenary of the opening of that line. .....

A significant proportion of the August 1925 edition of The Railway Magazine was dedicated to coverage of the Centenary celebrations at Darlington. Given the short timescale between the event and the publication date of the August issue of the magazine (?late July?), and given that modern digital techniques were in no way available, the achievement of publication in such a short time is to be admired.

RE: Roger Farnworth Railways
Genoa’s Early Tram Network – Part 4 – World War 1 to World War 2

The first three articles in this series about Genova's Early Tram Network covered the network as it was established by the beginning of the First World War.

We have already noted that there were changes to the network which occurred before WW1, particularly the second line to Piazza Sturla in the East, the additional line to Sampierdarena in the West and the Municipal line to Quezzi in the Northeast.

In this article we look at the network from World War 1 to the beginning of World War 2.
