    Probably around 1964-5, there are no dates (nor any other info) with this batch of negatives.

    Ballinascarthy, junction of the Timoleague & Courtmacsherry Light Railway and the CB&SCR 5 November 1960. 552 collecting mts plus a load of what looks like sugar beet 'waste' after processing which would be used as fertiliser/feed by the farmers.

    Inchicore 130 ends its days somewhat 'butchered' early 1960's. A couple on the Cavan & Leitrim CA1952 , Cattle wagon 142L at Ballinamore and a poor neg of Belturbet transhipment sidings and shed.

    I have also amended the Class 70 location to Limavady Junction today.

    Fahan! Yes! I thought it looked familiar but just couldn't place it. Many thanks.

    Achill station 17 April 1968 some 30 years after closure.
  7. Irishswissernie
    I don.t think the station image is Ballycarry image below

    3 'Posers' for you today. They are all 12/13 April 1968 and the spoil train and probably the railcar are on the Larne line. The station is probably in that area too. Locations anyone?
  9. Irishswissernie
    Yes I should have realised that; although up here in the ancestral home of the railway back in the last century I can't remember seeing one left dangling over the cab side.

    GNRI steam at Amiens Street 28 June 1959. SG3 48. What was what looks like a rope or a pipe hanging from the cab for? 48 again & T2 143 from Howth. U class 199.

    I have translated this into Geordie non-predictive text as ' Foynes line is to be relaid and rebuilt' or have I missed something from earlier posts(s).
  12. Irishswissernie
    Dublin Inchicore Works early to mid 1960's. B113 E415
  13. Irishswissernie
    West Clare Rly, 3 November 1960, Ennis F503 on a wet day, note the cattle wagon at the head of the train. 2 views at Newry Edward Street 24 August 1962. Note on the second view the reference to the Greenore bus service which replaced the old D&NGR trains and also mention of the long gone service to Armagh.

    A bit more modern but its still over 20 years ago, time passes ever more quickly! Limerick Junction 231 on the direct curve with a service from Dublin 29 November 2001. Rosslare Harbour 128+175 on arrival from Limerick 1 December 2001.

    A couple more L&LSR views. Manorcunningham station 20 April 1953 HC Casserley. The north end of Letterkenny taken from up a signal ca1952. I have acquired a number of negatives taken by this photographer; interesting images but unfortunately with a somewhat faulty camera which has the image properly focussed on the right hand side of the negative only.
  16. Irishswissernie
    Londonderry & Lough Swilly Rly, Letterkenny goods yard. ca 1952. Loughrea Branch G612 at Attymon and after arrival at Loughrea 28 October 1962.
  17. Irishswissernie
    CB&SCR Baltimore station 5 November 1960 x2.
  18. Irishswissernie
    I wouldn't rely too much on the date being correct, JGD 's records especially after 1963 are sketchy and much amended, possibly years later when his health had declined.
  19. Irishswissernie
    Not quite railway but one does have CIE on the barge or barge contents. These 2 were with a batch of freebies with no location details but the date was 28 October 1966. They were with a batch of Irish railway negs and these 2 are of an Irish canal the giveaway on the footbridge photo being the usual tall TV aerials on the flats to the left. Ideas anyone?
  20. Irishswissernie
    3 J G Dewing negs today from 1964. 207 at Mount Pleasant on the main line. 207 again but at Aghadavoyle date is probably 29 May 1964 as I have almost an identical JGD colour slide taken then. 171 at Omagh.
  21. Irishswissernie
    A couple more from the Courtmacsherry area as 552 trips a few more wagons of beet to Ballinascarthy 5 November 1960. Several trips of 3 to 5 wagons +Brake Van appear to have been tripped in the beet season each day to Ballinascarthy where a C Class Diesel then took the assembled wagons to Cork. 552 spent the night at Clonakilty shed.
  22. Irishswissernie
    Oops, amended.
  23. Irishswissernie
    There's a signal already in place but unlikely to be from when the line was in operation https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.6409222,-8.7606741,3a,75y,57.13h,73.55t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBw8bxi7Bvv1rKws-0E8LFQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Just need to win the Euro Lottery to finance the job.
