Irish Rail locomotive 042, at the head of a laden Tara Mines – Dublin ore train, running through a steeply-sided lush cutting, below the back road from Drogheda to Navan, to the west of the former Beauparc station. The wagons have lids to prevent the loss of their contents.
The Drogheda - Navan - Kingscourt railway :: O0974

Opened, in sections, by four railway companies between 1850 and 1875. Drogheda – Navan closed to passengers in 1958, Navan – Kingscourt in 1947. There are two short branches – to Platin cement factory at Drogheda and the Tara mines at Navan. The Navan – Kingscourt section handled gypsum trains until 2001. The line still serves the Tara mines.
