About This Book
In this fascinating account of the last years of the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway, Michael Hamilton creates vivid pictures of:
-family life in a level crossing gatehouse
-the work of a boy porter in Dromahaire
-the duties of a guard on the trains travelling between Sligo and Enniskillen.
He recalls the great characters of the line including: Tommy McTiernan, Boss Brannigan and Owen Rooney and his descriptions of the passengers - the smugglers, the Scottigh visitors, the honeymooners - are always direct and frequently humorous.
