    12 March 1974 was a Tuesday ... not a Good News Day for A36R
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It happened on 27 February, a while before. Details here - irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/2432-longford-derailment/

    "... Fortunately there were no major injuries largely due to there being no passengers in the two carriages that went down the embankment. Only the driver was removed to hospital, for precautionary reasons. One passenger received medical attention at Longford station but was fit enough to continue their journey to Dublin. ... "

    "josefstadt" on the above site has a few colour photos of the recovery operation. Can anyone spot Mr O'Dea in his photos?

    Date pre 4/6 May, according to
    “A36R, which had come to rest in a very awkward position, was not recovered until the weekend of 4 / 5 May, by which time a large amount of the locomotive’s brass and copper had been removed by persons from a local ‘caravan park’!

    According to this map on Wikipedia, there was only ever one junction near Enfiled, Nesbitt Junction. The left hand line is a branch headed for Edenderry, which closed in 1963. I believe the photo was taken near this red doohickey. The curved path of the closed line is still visible in the hedges before disappearing under the new motorway.
  • Ciarán Cooney said:
    Thanks, great photo, although it's not exactly the one I was expected as the loco is not bonnet first but I am convinced he has one at Nesbitt somewhere, but never the less an interesting image all the same cheers! Yes that line curving away is the branch line to Edenderry.

    Nesbitt Junction and the branch line to Edenderry can be seen clearer in the 1995 B/W aerial photo. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,675406,741025,6,5 Switch to the Historic 25 inch map for more detail. It's great that the OSI have published these old aerial photos.

    Ciarán Cooney Damn! This was the only one that mentioned GM on trial...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley blackpoolbeach Thanks for the map work! I've added it where Ciarán said, because I can't remember the link for my OSI converter... Will doublecheck against OSI on Monday. And you're dead right about the aerial photos - they're fantastic!
