A short trip on the narrow gauge but an important one in terms of local heritage
Cavan & Leitrim Railway的点评
点评:The star of the show is Nancy the steam engine who runs on Sundays (recommend dropping a message before to make sure as the steam requires more volunteers to be available), a magic experience to take the half mile trip on the recreated stretch of the old narrow gauge line, just as my father did as a young man. The other star however is the man himself, Michael who has the history of every piece in the collection, and you can't help but be fascinated by someone so driven and so passionate about something, so much work has gone into sourcing the items, saving them from destruction and working on restoration. For local people, it's great to be contributing to conserving our heritage and shocking that funding isn't coming from government sources to help such an important project, so enjoy both the collection of trains, planes, buses and supporting a group of people who are doing remarkable work. Don't forget to ask Michael about Meryl Streep...
翻译:本次体验的主角便是那台在周日运行的蒸汽机车“南希”(建议事先发消息确认,因为运行蒸汽机车需要更多志愿者协助)。乘坐它沿着复原后的旧窄轨铁路行驶半英里,真是一种奇妙的体验,就像我父亲年轻时做过的那样。不过,另一位“主角”便是迈克尔本人——他熟知馆内每一件藏品的背后历史。你不禁会被这样一个对事业充满热情与毅力的人所吸引——他付出了大量心血来搜集各类物品、设法使之免遭毁坏,并致力于修复工作。对于当地居民而言,能为实现文化遗产保护出一份力实在是一件好事;不过令人不解的是,如此重要的项目却得不到政府的资金支持。因此,大家不妨尽情欣赏这些火车、飞机和巴士藏品,同时也为这群正在做出卓越贡献的人们助力吧。别忘了问问迈克尔关于梅丽尔·斯特里普的事情……
