Irish Railways & Transport Foundation Web Site.

The Irish Railways & Transport Foundation has been established to halt the rapid disappearance of industrial archaeology and sociology which the various transport modes represented on the island of Ireland for more than 200 years.

It will also maintain a vibrant, living contact with interest groups and individuals throughout the world via a quarterly newsletter and this web-site on the Internet.

The urgency of the mission is evident in the ongoing modernisation of transport systems which has resulted in priceless artefacts and vehicles being swept away as Ireland’s transport infrastructure, with massive State and European Union investment, moves forward into the new millennium.

State and Transportation Company funds are not available to rescue the many historic - and often unique - examples of Ireland’s transport ; this is left to the meagre resources of a small but dedicated band of hard-pressed individuals and societies.

The Irish Railways and Transport Foundation can change all of that for the better, and by joining us, YOUR HELP will make the vital difference.

The Foundation, incorporated in New York State in 1999, aims to encourage, through donations, the preservation in working order of vehicles and entire transport systems throughout the island of Ireland, North as well as South

The Irish Rail and Transport Foundation solicits and receives gifts and bequests from donors and devises and grants funds to promote the charitable and educational purposes for which the Foundation was formed.

The Foundation is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in section 501 (c) (3).
