wexfordloco10 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Hi I am almost certain this photo was taken at Westland Row as I travelled up from Kilrane nr Rosslare Hbr by train and we had Breakfast on the train in those days thanks for looking David
josefstadt Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The pic of E407 was taken in Connolly (or Amiens St depending on the date) station. The loco is shunting one of the two centre carriage roads (one of which is now Plat 3). B159 is standing on Platform 3, the main departure line (now Plat 4) and in the foreground you can just see the loco release crossover from the 'Howth Bay' platform (now gone to allow the extension of P4) On the extreme left-hand side an ex-GNR(I)/GNRB van is standing in what today is Plat 1. The footbridge running across the front of the trainshed connected the main arrival and departure platforms in the GNR side of the station and continued on to the suburban loopline platforms. Its a great image of Connolly before it was modernised. And the thoughts of breakfast in the dining car travelling up the South Eastern -
jhb171achill Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Yes, Amiens St it is - I was so busy looking at the loco I didn't notice the giveaway footbridge and the GNR coach in the far platform!
wexfordloco10 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the correct information I will ammend my original notes it was taken a long time ago and unfortunately I did not take as much interest then as I had just become engaged and had other things on my mind David Edited January 1, 2013 by wexfordloco10
