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:
“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)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“It is my hope to be able to prove that television is the greatest step forward we have yet made in the preservation of humanity. It will make of this Earth the paradise we have all envisioned, but have never seen.”
—Joseph O’Donnell. Clifford Sanforth. Professor James Houghland, Murder by Television, just before he demonstrates his new television device (1935)
