    Maryborough was still used in 1959? Oh, I see it's from the Irish Times. Maybe they had their own style manual which kept the old names. Interesting.

    Interesting to see the little PWD inspection car of the day, possibly of GSWR/GSR origin. The derailed Sulzer loco No.B101 is just visible on the left.
  • Sole & Luna said:

    Sugar and weedkiller is a dangerous cargo to mix. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chlorate "Particularly when mixed with sugar it has explosive properties"
  • Swordscookie said:
    Maryborough indeed, my father who worked for CIE and did many runs on that line always called it that. He retired in 1959 and it may have been in common usage until about then. This is a great example of how things have changed in a relatively short space of time. A complete absence of PPE for the men, not even gloves. I think that virtually every man on the rail has a cap on with the exception of the man with the hat. There is an almost complete lack of automation there so it is going to be hard manual labour all the way. Weedkiller is noxious stuff now and was no different then but the drums are just pushed to one side and no notice is being taken of them. Very sad about the Inspector RIP.

Cuteness alert!

    There is only one Corbella in the 1911 census, Luigi Corbella, 43, House Dealer, a visitor at (I believe) the Imperial Hotel. on the Mall, Waterford.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Definitely the Imperial Hotel, Niall. Wonder what an Italian born House Dealer was doing in Waterford? He was there for the census night of Sunday, 2 April 1911, and seemingly back (or still staying) at the Imperial Hotel 3 years later in May 1914. From looking at other Poole photos of Mr Corbella, he was also at the Imperial back in September 1903. Think we might be able to take it that he lived there? Or at least used it as his base when in Waterford?
