The Foyle Valley Railway is a closed railway museum in Derry, Northern Ireland.
Foyle Valley Railway Museum was initially opened in 1990 on the site of a part of the disused Derry to Donegal railway line of the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee (CDJRC). In August 2016, Destined Ltd, a charity for adults with learning disabilities secured a lease on the premises and reopened the museum which had been closed to the public since 2002. A number of Destined members are currently being trained as Museum by a staff member of Derry & Strabane District Council's Museum Service.
The exhibition consists of a recreated railway station platform and within the displays visitors can find out about the various railway companies which once operated out of the city.
The steam locomotive exhibited in front of the museum is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge locomotive built for the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee in 1907 by Nasmith & Wilson, originally numbered No. 16 and named "Donegal". She was superheated in 1926 and then renamed and renumbered as No. 4 "Meenglas" in 1937. The locomotive was withdrawn from service on 31 December 1959, when the CDJRC ceased to exist as a railway company.
