Railway talk tonight in Town Hall
The presentation by journalist and historian Liam Kenny is part of a series of history and heritage talks for Kilcullen 700. It will begin at 8pm sharp, and there is no charge.
The evening will include discussion on the Tullow Line, which was opened in June 1886 and was used to transport passengers, goods and animals to Dublin via Baltinglass, Harristown and Sallins. It closed in June 1959.
The first railway in Ireland opened in 1834. At its peak in 1920, Ireland had 5,600 km (3,480 mi) of railway, now only about one third of this remains.
