“Archive Films of the 1960s/70s of the Dublin-Cork mainline, plus the Ballinacourty Branch” by Ciarán Cooney

 

Digitised and restored archive films from the Joe St Leger Collection of the 1960s & 1970s; featuring PWD operations with Metrovick and Sulzer locomotives, followed by early magnesite/dolomite freight trains to Ballinacourty during the CIÉ ‘black & tan’ era; plus glimpses of passenger/goods workings on the Dublin/Cork mainline.

 

We hope that members and non-members based in the Greater Dublin Area will take the opportunity to join us at the Society's premises for this in-person "hybrid" meeting of the Dublin Area.

 

Please refer to the IRRS website / Facebook or X (Twitter) for any possible changes close to the date of the meeting. An advisory email will also be sent out to all mailing list subscribers.

Shame it clashes with the football, and I won't get to see it. 

Hopefully a recording of the meeting will be made available at a later date.

Can't recommend this too highly, Ciaran has done a brilliant job of restoration and does his research for talks very thoroughly.

Unhappily, I'll be the boat to Belfast .......

I'm in a similar pickle, I'll be on the plane to Cork. A pity to miss it.

Very enjoyable show tonight, some quite interesting train formations in there too (GSWR 351 + mkIId set anyone?)
