jhb171achill Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Top one could be anywhere, really - possibly Broadstone or Athlone? It's a MGWR 0.6.0 in GSR days (1925-45). Second one is on the DSER somewhere - could it be New Ross? Third one - I SHOULD know that, given so many clues in the pic - but I've no idea. I think the third wagon is a DSER one. The high fencing behind looks pretty new. Wagons suggest date about 1930. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc0169 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 A good friend of mine who is not on the forum has contacted me and says the first photo is Ballina, and the third photo is what is now known as the Crossmolina road siding formally the Killala line beside the show grounds in Ballina-the bus eireann garage would be on the right today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wexford70 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Second one is almost definitely Rosbercon (New Ross) facing Waterford direction. Station building on left was for passengers with a small shelter on the far platform, building on right was the goods shed. Bridge is now located in Rosslare Strand. In the photo below the small shelter has been removed. Edited February 3, 2021 by Wexford70 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Looking at that aerial view to confirm any doubts I had, yes, definitely New Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same gentleman would very certainly know what he was talking about, if he's who I think he is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just say we had the pleasure of his company on many an occasion-and one in Co Sligo of note too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
