    I hope diesel c209 finds a friend to drag / push ! the image just oozes despair; it's like " the scream" on tracks, and even they could just go round and round for eternity

    Could be a defect in one cab or perhaps its just accessing the shed via the turntable.

    Belfast Telegraph - Tuesday 27 January 1959:
    Eire to offer holiday camp coaches The Eire Transport Board, C.I.E., is to provide holiday camping coaches next summer at Killarney, Dungarvan and Carrick-on-Shannon. Announcing this last night, Dr. C. S. Andrews, chairman of the Board, said the coaches would be let at a very reasonable cost to families and parties travelling by C.I.E. train services. If the idea caught on, the scheme would be extended. Dr. Andrews said the cost of hotel accommodation for large families often prevented them from having holidays in districts they would like to visit. In each of the camping coaches, which would be located at or near station premises, there would be sleeping accommodation for eight persons, a living room and a fully equipped kitchen, and all crockery. cutlery, cooking utensils, towels and bed linen would be supplied.

    A "lifting gang" would be the lads pulling up the tracks after a line is closed, but according to eiretrains; Passenger services on the Mallow to Waterford line ceased in 1967, but the section just west of Dungarvan town (Ballinacourty) to Waterford remained in regular use until 1982 serving the magnesite plant there. The tracks were eventually taken up in the late 1990s.

    SPOTTED ! At 0.25 in this 1966 film - youtu.be/rIO9F94Vz5U
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think Ballynacourty is actually East of Dungarvan, so these lads were probably lifting from Dungarvan to Mallow.

    I like railways, but as a composition, this is shockingly bad. The eye isn't drawn to any point of interest, the train (if that's meant to be the focus) is too small, the centre is a telegraph pole and the whole thing is basically a big triangle in the lower half a horizontally split field.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The Ballaghadereen branch is gone, but the Sligo line is still there in Streetview. I think O'Dea may have climbed one of the signal posts to get this angle.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    derangedlemur Maybe O'Dea took this one in a hurry so he could climb down, run and take one at the station.

    Niall McAuley Looking at your map link, he seems to be where the .400 field meets the .831 field.
