The Swilly and The Wee Donegal is a personal photographic record of the narrow gauge railways of County Donegal in the 1950s. Whilst, as ever, the primary focus
is on trains/rolling stock, built heritage features included are:
* Buncrana
* Fahan station building
* Inch Road station building
* Tooban Junction signal cabin
* Burnfoot station building
* Bridge End
* Graving Dock (Derry)
* Victoria Road (Derry)
* Cullion
* Strabane
* Finn River Bridge (Strabane - Lifford)
* Ballindrait
* Raphoe
* Convoy
* Stranorlar
* Killybegs
* Donegal Town
The overall publication is another good one from Colourpoint, although let down slightly by giving credence in the introduction to the defeatist, "Pale Rail" attitude of
Platform 11.
