  That condensed script again ...

• Peter Cartwright said:

  I thought “those rails look a long way apart” and then realised that 5 foot 3 is the standard track gauge in Ireland.

• beachcomber australia said:

  There is a longer shot Stereo Pair - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000565278 - where the creeper on the temple is a few feet lower. A few years between the photos? Didn't O Mac say recently that the line was duplicated in 1882 ?

• beachcomber australia said:

  Yes pre 1882 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killiney_railway_station ... The original station was located on nearby Strathmore Road. The current station opened on 6 May 1882 under the name Killiney & Ballybrack, replacing both Killiney and Ballybrack stations, the Ballybrack suffix was dropped in 1921. The original Killiney station had itself replaced the earlier Obelisk Hill, Killiney station on 1 January 1858. ...

• beachcomber australia said:

  A couple of later photos showing double tracks and this station abandoned, the platform falling apart, and the temple almost covered by trees - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336702 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000323128
