	Great Northern Railway
		The Great Northern Railway of Ireland, originally known as the Irish North Western Railway, maintained an independent existence for 77 years, much of that time prosperously established as the second largest and certainly the most enterprising of the Irish railway systems.

		In spite of a falling population the Great Northern was at its most prosperous in the thirty years or so preceding the first World War.
