Place & story
Railway engineering beside the Leannan
A group of three railway bridges in Carrick, Templedouglas, carried the former Letterkenny–Burtonport line across local obstacles. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates the group to around 1903. The bridge over the Leannan has two segmental arches, while the road crossing uses a single arch. Rough-faced stonework with carefully finished margins frames the openings and distinguishes their construction. Recorded in 2016, the bridges preserve part of the railway’s physical route after trains ceased running. [2]
