COUNTY DONEGAL RAILWAY RESTORATION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

County Donegal Railway Restoration Company Limited By Guarantee is the charitable organisation that operates the award-winning Donegal Railway Heritage Museum, a hidden gem just a short walk from Donegal Town centre. Housed in the original railway station house, the museum brings the story of County Donegal's once-extensive narrow-gauge network to life through a blend of historic artefacts, interactive displays and hands-on experiences.

Visitors can admire the iconic 1907 steam engine Drumboe, explore Ireland's first full-size interactive railway cab, and climb aboard restored carriages, wagons and railcars such as the 1936 Railcar 15. Family-friendly attractions include a ride-on Thomas the Tank train (weather permitting), detailed model layouts, audio recordings of former passengers, and a dedicated children's activity zone. The museum also offers guided tours, a wheelchair-accessible environment, a library and archives, a café, and a shop stocked with exclusive memorabilia, model trains and local crafts.

By preserving and celebrating the county's railway heritage, the Donegal Railway Heritage Museum provides an educational and entertaining destination for locals, tourists and railway enthusiasts of all ages.
