The Irish Traction Group is a railway preservation society dedicated to preserving diesel locomotives from Irish railways. It was founded on 4 June 1989 with the intention of attempting to preserve at least one example of every type of diesel locomotive to have operated on the Irish Rail system.[1] The ITG's locomotives and work are spread across three sites: Carrick-on-Suir railway station, the Downpatrick and County Down Railway (DCDR), and the West Clare Railway.
