Fintown railway station, Heritage railway station in County Donegal, Ireland
The Fintown Railway stretches along five kilometers of track beside Lough Finn, following the route of the former County Donegal Railways.
The station began operations in 1903 as part of the Donegal Railway Company line from Glenties to Stranorlar, closing to passengers in 1947.
The railway preserves the memory of County Donegal's narrow gauge rail network, which once extended across 200 miles of Irish countryside.
The station operates during summer months, with a round trip journey that takes approximately one hour along the shores of Lough Finn.
Fintown Railway remains the single operational narrow gauge railway in County Donegal, running through mountainous terrain alongside a lake.
