Guest hidden-agenda Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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.

BosKonay Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No worries, all you need to do is copy the youtube link from you address bar You need the bit that looks like this if there is anything after the v=XXXX string, you can leave it out. Then just click in the Video Icon in the post, paste in the link, and the forum will embed the vid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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.

Eiretrains Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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.
