    There is a sketch map in 'The Life & Times of a Railwayman, Limerick Junction' where there is a structure marked as Coal Yard. Probably a walled yard for storing coal for the station, hotel. water tower/crane heaters etc.

    Definitely Limerick, the Tower is St Michaels Church on Barrington Street with the trees in the Peoples Park to the right of it. Another one solved! Today views are A Class at Limerick Junction A15 and A59 both ca 1960

    The spire is in the right place but I think the clincher is a tower which appears above the cab of the loco and I am pretty sure you can see it on google street view.

    I am thinking this could well be Limerick with the Goods shed that used to stand on the south side of the line opposite the one that I think is still there. Most stations wouldn't have the amount of junk or sheds that appears in this view.

    Cavan & Leitrim Railway today. I have some 50 odd 'new' negs taken on 8-10 June 1957 during one of the last coal 'booms' with at least 3 locos 2L, 5T & 4T in use on the Arigna line' Drumshanbo would make a lovely little model particularly with its curves lending itself to a 'roundy roundy' type layout. I looked on Google Earth and whilst the track bed is now a road the Water Tower on the left and Goods Store on the right are still extant.

    Enlargement from a recently acquired neg. Cavan & Leitrim Also have this one at Listowel. Not so good for the cart but the lady (the one holding the donkey) reminds me of my Mother in Law.

    The former D&SER today. First Dun Laoghaire Carlisle Pier on 18 May 1959 D14 86 and then a view of the Harcourt Street line near Shankill on 16 May 1959 a year or so after closure

    A couple post closure of the CDRJC at Strabane today but slightly different from the sad views of locos and coaches awaiting rescue or demise. The narrow gauge vehicles escaped the cutters torch and were on transporter wagons awaiting removal to Belfast. Interesting Transporter wagons. Directors saloon No 1 Trailer 3 and wagon 136

    Here is another said to be at Limerick Whitsun 1960 although if it was Whitsun then Spring was incredibly late that year as other photos so annotated show trees etc completely devoid of any leaves. I think the bogie coach number is 962 possibly ex WL&W can anyone identify it. Also what does the M stand for
  10. Irishswissernie
    I'm working through a bunch of newly acquired negs; can anyone identify this location taken ca 1957-60
  11. Irishswissernie

    Two from September 1978. 021 at Limerick Junction, the first coach looks interesting (possibly!) A pair of 121's at Rosslare Harbour.

    I hate TV advertising and invariably hit the 'mute' button as soon as they commence, these days adverts seem to be on for more time than the actual programme, notwithstanding that the programmes arn't worth watching any way. Even the dog agrees with me!

    NIR 111 & 112 at Dublin Connolly 16 May 1988

    Hi Jim , you can still call me ERNIE on Sunday although my first name Colin is technically my 'Sunday name'
  20. Irishswissernie
    Yes Andy you are correct. Checked my files whilst grabbing my tea. This one isn't uploaded yet. The signal gives the location away, when the Derry line was open it had another arm at the top of the post This is Railcar 14 0n 2 July 1959.
  21. Irishswissernie
    County Donegal Railways today: Photographer recorded this as Donegal Town but I'm not so sure Railcar 18 , 1July 1959 This is though 24 August 1954
  22. Irishswissernie
    We have as far as I can remember only one steam special through Haltwhistle this year! Guess what, apparently a problem with the AWS equipment. 47237 towing 60103 24 July.
  23. Irishswissernie
    Looking at the photos I put on then the line off to the left on them is just a siding as the map shows the Branch as leaving the GNRI line in the down direction ie behind the photographer.
  24. Irishswissernie
    Cork & Dublin feature in todays offerings: Cork C212 arriving 12 Sept 1960 Dublin Connolly, Railcar 906 ca May 1965
