The original 1877 line from Drimoleague and Cork terminated short of crossing the river and north of the town on the flood plain to save expense and also the lack of a suitable site nearer the main part of the town. The later extension of the line crossing the river on its way to Baltimore in the foreground opened in 1893. I have turned the OSI map so it fits. Baltimore line off to the left , Schull narrow gauge along the road at the top and the original line from Drimoleague and Cork entering on the right.

Usually but then you could in those days although you would need some time. I think he must have used the vehicle below to get from Waterford station to the Goods Yard. I think its Waterford Goods yard entrance , I have been up that lane over the road a few times in the 2000's and then climbed the hill to the Golf Course on the top which gave you a panoramic view of the yard and line west. The house is no longer there though. HCC didn'r record much information about this view so I'm left wondering what was the horse's name, and the driver's , what brand of cigarette is he smoking but most of all is that a light on the horse's neck or is it a street lamp on the road GSR 1929-09-14 Waterford Goods yard , Jaunting cart HCC glass 6189 Cas25024.
