Riversuir226 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 On the way back from Portlaoise(I wonder why i was up there:)), I spent a bit of time trying to find the long closed Portlaoise line from Ballyragget south to Kilkenny. To be honest even trying to find the alignment was hard in places but the odd telegraph pole gave the alignment away. http://www.flickr.com/photos/73238117@N02/sets/72157634466808945/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was cutting grass down on the former line yesterday. My grandad has a section of it at the end of his garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 There was feature on that line on a IRRS journal a while back, I think it might have mostly been about the branch to Mountmellick or Castlecomer,not sure but will check it out when I get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I can't seem to ever be able to open that new flickr format..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It's a bit of a nuisance all right. It's specifically orientated toward tablet and phone browsing, and particularly crap if you are desktop bound. If you do get it working, it's worthwhile, in particular Finnyus's latest batch. What internet browser/machine/flux capacitor are you using JHB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Still getting used to it here, too. Slightly OT, but some time ago I set up a Flickr group called 'Irish Railway Heritage'. I rarely post anything to it myself, but there are countless gems from other photographers who contribute: http://www.flickr.com/groups/irishrailwayheritage/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Glenderg, such is my technoilliteracy, I don't even know what those things are! I am using a steam-ear clockwork laptop. It's one of these new things, only needs two people to lift it.... To me, an iPad is probably some sort of cushion if you have dodgy knees..... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
