They said we were mad driving to the Irish Midlands in a March rain to look at bog trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we did anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we did very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday March 8, 2019, Paul and Jay Monaghan and I made a foray toward Lanesborough, County Longford to observe Bord na Mona\u2019s Lough Rea system in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me this was repeat of similar trip three weeks earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a hint: Bord na Mona has one of the coolest train sets in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole operation is like a big garden railway. Well, except that it runs in a bog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s another hint: just because rain is forecast, doesn\u2019t mean it will rain all day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
