    The car looks like it's O Dea's Austin Cambridge.

    Clontarf Bridge, Cork - over the south channel of the River Lee (not Brian Boru bridge on the north channel, though they're very similar): Streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@51.8976451,-8.4650496,3a,47.7y,3.6h,8... Edit: Streetview link not working for some reason

    Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge, erected 1911. 197 feet long, four span (opening span of 62 feet) bridge resting on six concrete filled steel caissons having cast iron parapets. Bridge reconstructed in 1981, and no longer opening.

    Usage of the Cork City Railways lines reduced with the closure of the old CBSCR route in 1961; however, freight movements to Albert and Victoria Quays continued until 1976
  • Niall McAuley said:
    So the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway was closing in 1961, hence O'Dea's interest.

March 19, 1961

    The Signal Cabin is not itself on Albert Quay, it can be seen here on the 25" OSI map. The South City Link Road was built on this old railway. I can tell this is the Signal Cabin in question from this paired photo in the archive: Station from Signal Cabin, Albert Quay, Cork City, Co. Cork As we often find with O'Dea's pictures, this was taken on 19 March 1961, and per wikipedia, Regular passenger services were withdrawn on 1 April 1961

    Thanks Niall McAuley - You are of course correct! I have updated the map location accordingly. And also added a short note to the description. Much appreciated!

    The caption should read Bill Canty taking a breather.
