Riversuir226 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Within the city boundaries Despite the passage of over 5O years theres still some signs of the once great Tramore line within the city. Ring Road The trackbed would have ran through here city bound Tramore bound Slightly further out just past the trees there was a deep cutting which is still in existence but is a black spot for illegal dumping which hampered further pics:(. At the end of the cutting there is a road overbridge While the cutting has been filled in at this point using spoil from an embankment further along at least the telegraph pole has survived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riversuir226 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Further pics of the bridge were hampered by the couple of hundred kilos of deise bull lurking in the field. Looking back towards Waterford and the last pic the embankment that was here was cut out due to flooding which still is a major problem in the area. There is also a rather low bridge at this location which has had its share of strikes judging by the paint on the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riversuir226 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Looking towards Tramore And the former trackbed on the bridge used by a local riding school The trackbed ran to the right of the trees complete with telegraph poles which look more like trees A bit further in theres still gate posts which although moved since closure are worthy of inclusion. One of the drivers on the line had a few acres here and is mentioned in the five minute bell which gives a good history of the line.

jhb171achill Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pity it didn't survive. In any event, it would make a fantastic basis for a layout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
