This little book might initially appear rather uninteresting. However, it is actually a pad of CIE loading dockets for live stock loaded at Kiltimagh Co. Mayo. Numbered from number 35701 to 35800, each docket was duplicated by means of a carbon sheet (missing). The top sheet of number 35701 is missing, but its unused duplicate is present. Numbers 35702 to 35736 have all been used, and exist as carbon copies. Number 35737 through to the end are unused duplicated dockets (except for the final one, of which its duplicate has been torn out). Nearly all entries are for ‘Store Cattle’. The hand written dates are often difficult to read, but seem to range from February 1961 to August 1961, with a further two in early 1962. These last two are undated, and written in a different hand to the rest. I presume these were the last recorded movement of live stock loaded at Kiltimagh before the railway closed. Therefore, what at first sight appears to be of limited interest is in fact a unique piece of Irish history.
