    One night about two years ago a train was seen coming through Barney's Gap. Michael McLoughlin, the keeper of the gate house at Shandrum went out to open the gates. Before he could get to the gates the train passed through without doing the gates the slightest harm. Every night for a week the train passed through. After that it disappeared altogether and was never seen by anybody since.
