It was also known as the SL&NCR.<br>It ran a passenger and freight service from 1880 until the end of September,1957. It ran from Sligo to Enniskillen, stopping at Ballisadare,Collooney,Ballintoher,Dromahair,Manorhamilton,Glenfarne,Belcoo and sometimes in between stations on request. It was one of the greatest losses ever for that area. DOWN MEMORY LANE by MICHAEL HAMILTON.<p>
