Castlemungret the last day.

This is not a great video by any means the camera man spent more time filming faces and odd bits of the factory but the train shots are very very few in poor light.

Thanks for posting,but this is not Castlemungret but is

the old Quigley plant at Ballinacourty near Dungarvan

That closed in the summer of 1982.

Sadly-30 years on from the video,this is the view near where

the a class and wagons was shown in the video with Dungarvan

bay in the background.The crossing keepers cottage is deralict

and you can just about make out the remains of ballast on the

line which was lifted in the late 90s and the remains of the former

crossing gates.

Thanks for posting that location Eamonn. I didn't have the time visit the location myself when I was last in the area, it was probably one of the most scenic level crossings on the network. Here's as link to the crossing when the gates and track were still in situ, but derelict.

I have a great passion for that part of the railway myself Eamonn and made many visits during my life to those areas. It was a beautiful landscape on which to view a railway. We used to always take the coast road as it offered some great scenic views of the railway. It seems so long ago now.

God no bother,and thanks for posting this in the first

place as it show what is now history.Glad ye like the

photos and indeed I agree this crossing was the most

scenic in the country and why the line was never preserved

Going back 20 years when it was intact is beyond me.
