So viewers can place the location, and take advantage of Flick's new group mapping facility (plus as only the photo owner can do this), it would be appreciated that when adding this interesting photo to the Clerestory Coaches (Railways) Group, could you kindly use the Flickr mapping facility. Further information is indicated in this link. (See item #2, note A). Should you need further help with mapping there is also an example available at this link: click here........ and then click on the pdf file. Many thanks.

An approximate, even regional, location would be quite adequate. .

Curator, State Libary of NSW : Thanks for sharing this historic photo with the Flickr Clerestory Group, along with all your other relevant images...... . .

Appears to be the New Haven Railroad's Middleboro, MA yard. View is looking NNE from the Route 28 overpass toward the Middleboro station (barely visible in the background in the top center of photo, to the left of the water tank) and toward Boston. Tracks on the far right head to Cape Cod. Tracks in the foreground head toward Taunton, MA.

Nice to be here

I agree with billreidy. I live right up the street from this location. I think I have a picture from the same location. I will try and find it and post if if I can. It would be nice to see the difference.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called freightyards, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

In the UK chains are dangled from gantries a few yards ahead of low bridges (over roads) to alert vans and trucks. The driver hears the chains rattling over the roof of the van (and ruining the paintjob). This is a nice picture.

BCI 239 ? (I can't find my glasses!) 28 October 1968 was a Monday ... 28 October 1967 was a Saturday ...

The internet is sometimes AMAZING!

beachcomber australia Incredible! The O'Dea shot is listed as Athy in the catalogue, that Beetle page says: It was parked at the side of a garage in Monastervin, County Kildare. in the mid 80s, 20 years later, just 20km up the road.

The Streetview shows that the layout at Athy is very simple now, just twin tracks straight through, but on the 25" it was more complex, with Cattle pens West of the line and track to the Goods shed at left/East. There was a section with buffers behind the surviving water tank. I think that is where the Bowater carriage was pictured, given the points in the foreground.
