CLR 1 to 8

Cavan and Leitrim Railway 1 to 8 were 4-4-0T locomotives built by Robert Stephenson and Company, and were the first locomotives on the Cavan and Leitrim Railway (C&LR). On the 1925 amalgamation, when the railway became part of the Great Southern Railways, they were designated Class 1L or Class DN2. The first section, some 34 miles (55 km) of what became the Cavan and Leitrim Railway (C&LR) from Dromod to Belturbet, was opened in October 1887. The branch line from Ballinamore to Arigna followed in May 1888 and in 1920 extended to the coal mines beyond the village. The line was closed in May 1959, leaving only the West Clare Railway as the sole surviving narrow gauge line in Ireland. On opening, the line had a fleet of eight steam locomotives, numbered 1 to 8.
