Tracing the old Burma Road

This last saw trains in the mid-1970s, yet much of the track and right-of-way remains intact.

The disused Irish railway that runs from Claremorris, Co. Mayo via Kiltimagh and Charlestown to Colloney, Co. Sligo is known as the ‘Burma Road.’

A railbike operation is based at the old station in Kiltimagh.

After St. Patrick’s Day, Kris and followed a portion of the Burma Road on our drive toward Sligo. In places the old line had been recently cleared.

I made these images using my Nikon Z7-II.

The area around the station in Kiltimagh has been preserved and a rail-bikes operation is advertised.
