West on Track launches Song and Calendar

Press Release
December 8th 2003

The West on Track community campaign has issued a special campaign song entitled "We Want that Line". The song, which is based on the Johnny Cash classic "I Walk the Line", was written by Frank Charlton, a native of Kiltimagh now resident in Manulla, and is sung by Frank McCaffrey, one of Ireland's best-known country artists.

The song, which was recorded recently in Greenfields Studios, Headford, has been distributed to all local radio stations in the West of Ireland as a means of attracting continued support for the campaign to re-open the Western Rail Corridor.

A spokesman for West on Track paid tribute to both Frank McCaffrey and Frank Charlton for giving their services free to the community campaign.

The Campaign has also launched a full colour souvenir calendar of the Western Rail Corridor, featuring towns and stations all along the route in its heyday. These are available in all good newsagents and bookshops
