Subject(s): Summary: "In days gone by the Old Railway Line was part of a busy railroad system, transporting goods and passengers to and from Westport Quay. Nowadays the railway sleepers have gone and the whistles and chugging of the engine are but a memory. It is now a peaceful corridor for wildlife and walkers, providing the town of Westport with a wonderful linear park connecting the main town with Westport Quay. Wildlife spaces within and on the outskirts of towns throughout Ireland are an element of our natural heritage that must be cherished and preserved. This is not only for the enjoyment of the town's human inhabitants, but also for the provision of a safe haven for biodiversity to flourish." - Introduction.
