Biddys o'Barnes in the Snow. The West Donegal Railway Company opened this line on 25th April 1882, the start of it's construction having been hampered by seven weeks of snowstorm. The line closed in 1959. The Railway ran alongside a ledge built into the hillside for part of its route through the Gap. Much of the trackbed can still be traced today, and is visible to all who visit Biddys. (Extract from Biddys website 2008)
