There quite a nice railway memorabilia as they were a part of the station and the train! Always on the lookout for a ballinhassig-Crossbarry one myself. They seem oddly numerous

Thr signal poles you found are “railway staffs” what a treasure trove you did indeed find. Hopefully preserved thanks to you and your buddy but your right. An awful lot of stuff gets thrown out

What springs to mind in cork is fota and mallow still have one of the pre blue signs each A few stations from glounthaune to cobh have IE, IR and even CIE signs of trespass, footbridge and parking related nature. Cork car park has a CIE sign (and a GSWR Timber sign!) As of right now. I believe there are two stations with complete all old signage. Cahir and one of the stations on the DSE
