A few jottings about New Ross from Irish Railfans News... A new covered shed for the loading of cattle was under construction at New Ross in December 1962 A new siding opened at Stafford's Wharf beside the Albatross fertilizer factory in December 1964, costing £7250 ! New Ross signal cabin closed 18th April 1966, the branch from Waterford being worked on an "one engine in steam" basis. The footbridge from New Ross was re-erected at Rosslare Strand in late 1967 ( the steps on the old footbridge at Rosslare Strand partially collapsed on 23rd July 1967 when being used by mystery train passengers !)

As Leslie correctly said a few posts back, lets get this thread back on track !! In JRL Currie's David & Charles book, The Northern Counties Railway Vol 1, published way back in 1973, there are 20 or so pages of history and background to this relatively unknown line. The book produced post-WW2 "The LMS NCC operating dept. in wartime" contains interesting information about activities at DC stations.
