0 Kirley Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Not the rules but pictures of signals and signs on Irish Railways, see here http://www.railsigns.uk/overseas/ireland1/ireland1.html
0 minister_for_hardship Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Have a CIE book on signalling regulations c 1970s, that I rescued from condemned signal cabin a number of years ago, must see can I root it out. There's a lot in it though.. Edited May 20, 2015 by minister_for_hardship
0 snapper Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 The rule books pop up on ebay every now and then for about a tenner.
0 minister_for_hardship Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) The rule books pop up on ebay every now and then for about a tenner. The rule books would have been based on a Railway Clearing House standard set of rules with little difference between the ones used here and the ones used in Britain. See p31/32 here http://www.metadyne.co.uk/pdf_files/RULE_MAIN_V4.pdf Think Junctionmad is looking for something more specific to signalling and Irish/CIE conditions.

The ones I am talking about are the CIE signaling regulations for double and single lines. They do appear often on ebay
0 jhb171achill Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I may have a few old rule books somewhere which I may be able to sell - if anyone's interested PM me and I'll have a delve.
