Industrial Heritage

Dundalk was the most important railway engineering town in Ireland. With its Great Northern Works long the national centre of railway engineering, Ireland?s most impressive railway engineering feat is undoubtedly MacNeill?s magnificent Boyne Viaduct in Drogheda.
All the county?s abandoned railway lines and associated infrastructure were surveyed in 2007 (together with that of County Monaghan). This survey is available for inspection by interested parties, just contact the Louth heritage officer.
