Amongst my Casserley acquisitions there is this glass negative taken by an R Mclaren at Killarney apparently CA 1905. -

As mentioned yesterday in the topic on Working Timetables, last night I attempted to photograph the GNRI 1 July 1917 WTT, however the photography has to be done in natural light otherwise you will get a large shadow across the image from the camera etc.. This morning I have managed to do the Dundalk to Carrickmacross, Cootehill Bundoran & Omagh section which hopefully is shown below and is readable. The double pages are scanned on their sides to make the image larger. If anyone wants them as portrait rather than landscape I hopefully can send them via a PM. I have also copied the 'contents' page to show how the GNRI broke the lines into sections i.e. Portafown -Belfast and Dublin - Portadown. PM me if you would like a copy of a section.

I have a bound volume of the GNRI Working Timetables for the periods commencing 1 July 1917 and 1 October 1917. I thought I could scan the Bundoran WTT for that period, however it is incorporated in the line plus branches Dundalk to Omagh so is spread over 22 pages! I have thought about scanning the whole bound book several times over the last 20 years but unfortunately 'can'tbearsedstosis' always strikes. I could photograph the pages; here is a sample. It will take some time so possibly a project for the now dark nights when there nowt on the Telly and definitely when Madame is away. I could start tonight then!!
