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.

One for the no longer standing album, according to the ESB it was demolished between 2000 and 2003. They have a link to a newspaper clipping showing one of the cooling towers being demolished.

The ESB also gives a link to a 1970s PR pamphlet about the station, which gives a lot of the technical data, if anyone is interested.
If this was taken in 1961, it was just before the 2nd development was started - so there would be only 3 boilers, as part of the first development. The 4th boiler which had a higher steam pressure was commissioned in January 1964. -

Those rail tracks you can see there are the same gauge as the famed "West Clare Railway". I took a Pack of Cub Scouts there in the 1980's. We were given a tour of the station and the nearby bog to see how the work was done. The train we travelled on consisted of carriages from the West Clare and naturally we all had to sing "Are you right there Michael" for the driver. No doubt he was suitably impressed:-)
Between them, both the ESB and Bord na Móna, gave us a great day out and at least two of those boys are engineers today who remember that day vividly! -
