I have spent from before 10 this morning until 8 this evening writing lengthy captions for a selection of photos like this!
Here’s how realistic this layout is; I open this post, see the first picture and without thinking, my mind starts saying:
”OK, what date, what loco, where’s he going, anything interesting among the wagons, what time did he leave Waterford, anything unusual?”
......then onto the keyboard and me eyes are cross-eyed as I type:
”On 3rd December 1986, Locomotive no. 142 approaches Glenmore with empty beet wagons for Wellington Bridge. Later that day this loco was seen passing in the other direction, paired with 188 and with a maximum load of 43 laden wagons for Mallow.....”
I’m even still scanning the train of vans to see if there’s one worth commenting on specifically.....
Yes, lockdown has me scribbling again. Keeps me off the streets.
”Rails Through Glenmore”!!!!
