Stradbally Woodland Railway, Heritage railway in Stradbally, Ireland
The Stradbally Woodland Railway operates vintage steam and diesel locomotives through one kilometer of tracks in County Laois woodland grounds.
Established in 1969 as Ireland's first volunteer-run heritage railway, the line began with a Guinness Brewery steam locomotive pulling small passenger carriages.
The railway preserves Ireland's industrial past through its collection of locomotives, including Róisín, which worked on the peat bogs of Laois during the 1950s.
The railway runs every bank holiday Sunday and Monday from March to August, with tickets priced at 8 euros for adults and 4 euros for children.
The trains operate on carbon-neutral biocoal from Arigna Fuels, making it an environmentally conscious heritage railway operation.
