Castlerea Railway Museum
One of the major attractions at the Castlerea Railway Museum & Pub is locomotive A55, a Metropolitan Vickers diesel electric dating from 1955, which was purchased from Iarnród Éireann minus its machinery, and moved to the premises where it was converted into a snug. A Railway Museum has been built around the locomotive, and the overall effect suggests that it has arrived through the wall of the building into the bar. It is probably the largest and most varied repository of railway heritage memorabilia in the country, with the exception of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. The pub is the only one in the world with a locomotive train within the pub.
