Believe it or not: the footbridge, seen here at @BallygluninRail in the opening scene of #TheQuietMan, was originally located at Oughterard on the Galway-Clifden line. Now at Ballinasloe station, this footbridge is still in use today! #WesternRailCorridor @irishrailways (2/2)

Lots of details to explore at the @BallygluninRail for the whole family, picnic benches available and everyone is welcome to step inside the gates
