The morning local, ten years apart; 1960 and 1970. Todd Andrews has retired now, but strangely he overlooked the Castletown West to Dugort Harbour branch, despite it only seeing twenty or so passengers per day, except fair days.

Nothing, of course, to do with who the local TD is……

Rhubarb!

I'd sack the local shed master for turning out locomotives in such a filthy state.

The crews obviously didn't view their locos as the Spoil Train men did in the late 1960s, when they often cleaned another bit of the engine between turns .....

Admonition over, @jhb171achill it shows it the way it (unhappily) was!

The Sweeney brothers watch the afternoon mixed amble across Carrowmore Bog one winter’s afternoon. Looks like snow in the sky…

”Y’know, Pat, the times I’ve sat here and watched that train go by, an’ not a blade of grass round the place. I wish yer man would stop talkin’ about scenery, and get it DONE!”
