Preservation
No MGWR locomotive has been preserved but several of its standard six-wheeled carriages exist. One stands derelict at the Station House Hotel in Clifden and another three are on the Downpatrick and County Down Railway. Another, owned by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland, is being refurbished for public use on the Downpatrick line. The MGWR's unique saloon coach built for William Dargan is at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra, County Down, Northern Ireland.

Famous quotes containing the word preservation:
“There is something to be said for jealousy, because it only designs the preservation of some good which we either have or think we have a right to. But envy is a raging madness that cannot bear the wealth or fortune of others.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
