enniscorthyman Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 As I have a few days off this week I thought it would be nice to visit my favourite railway Waterford-Ballinacourty.I am including a collection of Weed killer train photos taken by David Parks during 1985 and 86,along with some of my own photos taken yesterday and back in 1993-96.The line was lifted from mid 90s till late 90s and I found a lot a places impossible to photograph now due to the overgrown conditions.The line once formed the former Mallow-Waterford which closed in 1967,however the line reopened for the Quigley Magnesite works near Dungarvan in 1970 untill it closed in July 1982.The only workings over the line were weed killer trains ( the last ran in 1988) and rail recovery trains. The last movement was in May 1990 with 146 and EM50 ran to Ballinacourty on 6th and the 9th of May. Kilmeaden station. Approach to Kildermody LC Unknown locations-possibly near Carrolls Cross. Carrolls cross Station. Kilmacthomas Station. Currabaha LC west of Kilmacthomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Fantastic shots! The weedspray is definitely one of my favourite formations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
