Photos of days gone by

Well, we know of the GNR and its attractive 4.4.0's like 171, 131 or 197. So, just for a change, here's the N G Railway's No. 791 with its Director's Saloon about 1953. It's on an inspection trip, utilising the set of steps specially constructed to let the inhabitants down onto the track via the gangway.

 

I wonder what became of the steps?

 

In all its back-to-front printed glory, here it is.

No end to your talents, josefstadt!

 

How do you do that anyway? If it's a process suitable for simpletons, I'll have a go myself!

 

Incidentally, I think the photo was taken at Clones. Senior was carrying out the annual inspection of Omagh - Fintona - Bundoran - Enniskillen - Clones - Portadown - Belturbet - Cavan - Dundalk via Cootehill and Carrickmacross. I've an idea I've notes on the actual jaunt, or some of it, somewhere. Will post when I find it if there's anything of substance.
