Jimmy O’Grady, who died in March 2014 spent his working life on the railway. He was a gracious and wise man.
Jimmy drove the last train out of Ballaghaderreen in 1963.
It was recognised that he was a great locomotive driver and was considered a special person by his colleagues.
A railway enthusiast asked a relatively young locomotive driver if he were old enough to remember Jimmy. He immediately replied: “No, but I’m young enough to know that he was and is a legend."
