Interesting article up on RTÉ'S website about Irish railways north and south in 1922/23 - civil war disruption, strikes etc all feature.

Article here: https://www.rte.ie/history/irish-free-state/2022/1123/1337904-the-conflict-on-irish-railways-1922-23/

Fascinating read ... only let down by this pic <ahem, ahem> of a Great Southern & Western Railway steam locomotive at the company's Inchicore Works, Dublin, Ireland in 1916.

But apart from that Scottish diversion, a fascinating read!

added hyperlink to article ... and fixed typos (the irony is not lost on me)

It can easily happen  - I often see G&SWR images coming up when I search for GS&WR online (and yep, the editor would have expected to be able to rely on Getty Images too). And as I said above, it's a fascinating read - the author clearly knows his subject.
