Welcome to the Photograph collection of the The Corris Railway.  

Many photographs are taken of the Railway both whilst work is going on and when passenger services are running. The menu to the left has been split into "year" sections partly to enable visitors to see the progress of the Railway over a period of time.

Below you will see the most recent photographs that have been put onto the web site. Click on the year number in the left menu to see all photographs for a particular year.

If you have any photographs of the Corris that you would like to donate to the Railway for publication on the web site then please send them to the Webmaster with a covering note, or e-mail if they are digital, stating that you are donating them and have no objections to them being published by The Corris Railway Society on the web site or in other associated publications. Thank you
