Donegal Railway Heritage Centre, Heritage railway museum in County Donegal, Ireland.

The Donegal Railway Heritage Centre displays historical trains, carriages, and transportation artifacts in the restored old station house of Donegal Town.

The museum preserves the legacy of County Donegal Railways Committee, which operated narrow-gauge railways across the region from 1863 until 1959.

The museum exhibits showcase the impact of rail transportation on local communities through audio recordings, photographs, and personal accounts from former passengers.

Located on Tyrconnell Street, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with reduced entrance fees for seniors and students.

The center features the restored Class 5 Locomotive Drumboe from 1907 and Ireland's first full-size interactive railway cab for educational purposes.
