'Lough Melvin' at Enniskillen, June 1957. West Clare railway Brake Van 18C complete with the usual negative fault from this collection. Broadstone shed 1960's. Lastly , elsewhere in the World on the Archive I have now processed some of G C O'hara's 4500 negs and slides so here is a sampler. The North Easts "Tara Mines", Hunts Cliff on the line serving Boulby Poatash Mine on the Yorkshire Cleveland coast. Nowadays its Class 66 rather than Class 20 but there are usually 6 return workings daily plus traffic to Skinningrove Steel Works.

Dundalk, new Enterprise set June 1957. Dungannon 130 June 1957.

Cork Albert Quay, 34, June 1957 - the copyright overlay has shown up a bit on this one unfortunately. CDRJC Strabane after closure 24 August 1962. Carlisle Pier, 462 ca 1959.

Dundalk Works , a bit of 'tinkering/adjustment going on? 800 June 1957. Guinness Brewery ca 1960. West Clare Railway, Lahinch station ca 1952.

Cavan & Leitrim , Ballinamore shed 4T despite appearance was in steam! June 1957 Waterfall station on the CB&SCR 5 November 1960. Sligo station ca 1960 , poor negative.

GNRI Railbus No 1 at Oldcastle on the solidly built turntable.

Thanks, title changed.

Dublin Broadstone June 1957. This view is possibly at Glanmire Road? Waterford, dumped locos on the wharf sidings. 1959-60 ca

Looking through the tunnel to Cork Albert Quay station June 1957. 301 at Limerick Junction same month.

Cavan & Leitrim Drumshambo or Drumshanbo ! June 1957. The wagon behind the cart definitely looks as if its been re-painted black or a very very dark grey compared to some of the ones in the background. Inchicore 373 or most of it, probably late 50's- early 60's Waterford from one of the old landing stages on the river 302 heads a line-up awaiting their fate.

UTA ex Belfast & County Down Railway, a derelict Queens Quay shed with a collection of OOU/withdrawn ex GNRI locos. 2 views. SLNCR Manorhamilton Coach 10 and wagon 13. June 1957.

Yes on reflection, I agree Title amended. Thanks. Ernie

Dublin Broadstone 401 late 50's - early 60's Dublin Amiens St same era, 693 on the ex M&GWR next to the canal and A11 on the bridge carrying the GNRI. Cavan & Leitrim, a couple from June 1957 at Ballinamore. 12L on the Dromod mixed whilst Coach1* ? rots in the former carriage shed sidings.

Says Dublin D13 on his facebook.

Wexford station late 50's - early 60's. Rosslare 354 same era Manorhamilton June 1957, Lissadell's nameplate appears to have been touched up in white, no doubt by a photographer.

The first one I immediately thought of Galway but it looks to be open countryside on the left of the negative, I think the M&GWR had a few goods sheds with the curved roof.

3 'Location unknown' today; ideas anyone? First one by general concencus is Galway.

A mixture today both in subject and photo quality!. Ex NCC no 15 Belfast, York Road June 1957. These negs were free so I can't complain! L&LSR 2 negs No 15's works plate and L&BER bogie fish van no 90 (I think - poor neg) Lastly I think this is probably NCC ex B&NCR narrow gauge coach 306 bogie detail.

They did! I'm sure I dreamt somewhere that Mr Bulleid converted 2 coaches to have individual peat fired Barbecues and heating in the compartments to cut out the tiresome coupling up of steam pipes and also provide passengers with possible self service hot food!

A couple at Cork, Kent station June 1957. A53 Coaches 31m & 26m

The only one I havn't identified the exact location is this shot of CDRJC 'Erne' . Other views at Lifford and Raphoe are on a Letterkenny bound mixed so possibly at Convoy? June 1957.

This one is said to be Adelaide but it definitely isn't I reckon its Lisburn. 207 June 1957.

I have finally acquired some 70 Irish original slides; all June 1957. Yes Jim there are some Donegal views! Cork Albert Quay. Cavan & Leitrim, Ballinamore, Arigna branch coach. SL&NCR Manorhamilton, Lough Melvin.
