If you can find a copy of it, "Ireland (No. 6) (Railway Track Diagrams)" by quail is a good source. I think there are two versions, 1995 and 2003

Interesting, I am not familiar with that greenway project, what is the proposed start and end point? probably why this little snippet is in the ad

I came across this today, the former Ballinhassig railway station is for sale, the platforms and base of the signal box are still there along with the station masters house. https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-ballinhassig-railway-station-gogginshill-ballinhassig-co-cork/6310575

I came across this documentary about Albania's railway network. A beautiful looking country

I went googling to see if I could find it on sky ( no luck) but they have made them available to watch online for free https://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/program/video/japanrailway/?type=tvEpisode&

I came across this on facebook, a lovely collection of Irish steam pictures. https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/search&search=Neville+Stead+Collection&category_id=106

strange, the video is still working for me. I know some of the crossings have extra cameras at reg plate level, I do hope they find the plonker and prosecute.

Very unlikely to see it down here this side of the new year, May railtour maybe.
