The Burma Road
"The Burma Road" is the nickname for the Collooney to Claremorris railway which was in operation from 1895 to 1975. The railway runs through difficult terrain, traversing both bogland and rocky landscapes. Clearly, it must have required great engineering skills in its construction at the close of the nineteenth century. Inspired by the infamous "Burma Road" built, as a "supply" line, by British and other prisoners of war during the Second World War through the jungles of Burma. *Work in Progress*
