Located just 300 meters from Donegal Town Centre, the Donegal Railway Heritage Museum is considered a hidden gem. The museum is housed in one of the few remaining original station houses, which opened its doors in 1889.
Inside, visitors can explore a fascinating collection of railway rolling stock, including the original 1907 Donegal steam engine, Drumboe, which made history as one of the first railway vehicles with an internal combustion engine. The museum also offers interactive experiences for both kids and adults, including Ireland's first interactive railway cab, model railways, displays of interesting artifacts, a reference library, and a shop. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a video presentation, audio presentations, and even a coffee hut.
With their commitment to accessibility, the museum provides ramps for accessing restored carriages and wheelchair-accessible toilets. Visitors with special needs can also reach out to them for customized arrangements. Open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and on Sundays from 12 noon to 4:00 pm (April-September), Donegal Railway Restoration CLG offers an opportunity to step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating history of Donegal's railway network
