Guess the station

[Peter]

Does anyone know this station, no longer in use. The platform is down the side of the station house with a bridge just beyond it.

Loo Bridge, on the old Headford Junction to Kenmare branch.

Yup. That signal was my inspiration for doing all the GSWR and Cie range.

I stayed there in 1976 when the station was an An óige Youth Hostel. As schoolboys we cycled from Dublin to Kerry and back over two weeks using hostels each night. Many of the hostels have long been closed including Loo Bridge.

Yet again your knowledge amazes me.

 

I drove past it going to Kenmare this weekend. What a beautiful setting for a train station. The house is for sale at the moment.

[Weshty]

Still for sale??? That's been on the market at least 4-5 years at this stage so.

It's on Sherry Fitz website. Unless the ad is old and hasn't been taken down.

Lovely setting. The signal, it should be noted, isn't original.
