Mallow, late 1980s, maybe early 90s. Tralee branch train on left.

[Old Blarney]

Mallow Station, County Cork.  Photograph take on or after the formation of Irish Rail in 1987. The coaches on the right-hand side of this picture are carrying Irish Rail (IR) livery. White band above and below the Central Black band between the Golden Brown. Prior to this the CIE, Super Train livery on the MKii coaches did not have these white lines. Train on left side of picture - Locomotive 011 (A11) in CIE (Super Train) livery with its heating van and two Craven Coaches in CIE livery with a single white line above the windows. The Locomotive in the distance, beyond the Gantry, i cannot se it clearly enough to state its livery - CIE or IR.

I bow the thee young Sir, you with the keen eye-sight of a teenager.  How I envy you. Wishing  you and your team well; and those who are unfortunate enough to have made my acquaintance.
