StevieB Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Yes, I agree, it's Manulla Junction. Who is the photographer, please? Stephen Quote
David Holman Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Have also seen the Alcock and Brown pic somewhere. Visited the site near Clifden back in June - presumably the narrow road out to remains of the Marconi station follows the line of the little railway? also saw the Vimy bomber last year in the Science Museum. In the confines of the hall, it looks enormous, but also very fragile. Apropo nothing in particular, the A&B picture reminds of one of the Spurn Head Light Railway in East Yorkshire. As well as a similar railcar, it also had a sail powered trolley... Quote
Maitland Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Lovely, the period can't be far off when I first encountered Irish railways. But then, there were still some green coaches, and unless memory plays me very false, some silver GM single enders. It was 1966- the stations had just been renamed after heroes of the liberation.

Southern Yard Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Manulla Jcn it is and no idea who took it as I purchased it on ebay. A very different scene today! Quote
Mayner Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Where is this location? [ATTACH=CONFIG]11410[/ATTACH] Great and unusual photo most from the pre 60s era are from the Western end of the station looking eastwards. The steam loco coach and van are on the exchange sidings between the main line and the branch. Perhaps the loco is preparing to attach a through Ballina-Westland Row coach to the rear of the railcars set> Quote
DERAILED Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Just pulled up from my Guinness impaired memory - the Marconi railcar was built by Lancia....I think. Quote
