The Great Northern - 150 Years - Train 1

We are delighted to invite you to join us on board our "Great Northern 150" steam train special train on the Great Northern Line (Ireland).

Hauled by our magnificent steam locomotive No. 171 "Slieve Gullion" , back on her former company's lines as we celebrate 150 years since the GNR(I) mainline was opened.

We will depart from Dundalk and head south on the mainline towards Dublin, crossing through County Louth, including Castlebellingham and Dunleer, before arriving into Drogheda after crossing the 30m high Boyne Viaduct.

On arrival in Drogheda, our locomotive will unhook and change ends. After a short break we will be heading back towards Dundalk. The amazing sight and sounds of our train will delight young and old.

We have a snack car on board and for the adults a full bar serving draught Guinness and selection of beers, wines, spirits and much more. Great craic is guaranteed.

Our departure back to Dublin will be at 15:30 from Dundalk, with an arrival into Connolly scheduled for 17:30.

Please note that as with all our steam specials, we endeavor to operate this special with our advertised steam locomotive. We only have one operational locomotive available, therefore in the event of a failure of this locomotive or in a period of hot and prolonged dry weather, we may have to substitute the steam locomotive with a diesel locomotive. Please make all aware of this when booking tickets, as tickets will not be refunded in this instance.
