Cavan and Leitrim Railway 1 to 8

Cavan and Leitrim Railway 1 to 8 were eight 4-4-0T steam locomotives built by Robert Stephenson and Company, and were the first locomotives of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway in Ireland. The first section, from Dromod to Belturbet, opened in October 1887 and the line was later extended to Arigna. Locomotives 5 to 8 were supplied with skirting over the wheels, a cowcatcher, a bell and a headlamp, as tramway type engines for open track, and were fitted with condensing gear and duplicate driving controls. Unnamed on delivery, they were named after directors daughters, No. 1 becoming Isabel. All were rebuilt with larger boilers in 1902 to 1906. On the 1925 amalgamation they passed to the Great Southern Railways as Class 1L or DN2. Two are preserved: No. 2 Kathleen in the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and No. 3 Lady Edith in New Jersey.
