I have become obsessed with recreating the Cashel station, since i saw a photo of the station with the Rock of Cashel in the background I can't get the idea of it out of my head.

Been searching through various websuites for photos and anything i can get my hand on. There are more photos than anticipated but I was wondering would there even be the possiblilty of there being a station plan on record somewhere. It would be helpful to get a plan layout to see where the sidings were, switches etc. 

There is a train shed shown in one photo that looks to the side of the line coming in but another almost makes it look like a shed the train had to pass through leaving the station. 

Any help even more photos would help but i think i have exhausted all links and ideas to locate any more photos or even finding a station plan layout.

There are loads of photos on a Google search.

Tailte Eireann has the historic 6'' OS map but unfortunately the station straddles two maps and one was not updated with the station plan.

I think the sheet on the left is too old to show the railway (it's still shown as under construction!).

It may be that a trip to the Trinity Map Library might be necessary to see a paper map, https://www.tcd.ie/library/map-library/

Ideally what's needed is the OS 1:2500 scale (25") maps, to show the details of running lines, though the six inch might be ok.

If Trinity can't help try NLI--nice day out in Dublin either way 🙂

cheers,

Keith
