    That's Newbridge station between Kildare and Sallins, looking eastwards. Interesting photo, the buildings haven't changed that much.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Ciarán Cooney Aha, so that's why I was having difficulty finding "Kilbride" station! It really hasn't changed. So used it be called Kilbride??
  • Swordscookie said:
    I was looking at the location and trying to think when I ever saw a railway line near Kilbride. I may be mistaken but I don't think there ever was one???? Doesn't matter anyway that is a good shot of Newbridge and it looked like that any time I passed through it.

    Swordscookie And don't suppose you know where the barracks was? (Link above)
  • Ciarán Cooney said:
    I've always known it to be Newbridge, I checked wiki history and there's no mention of Kilbride, but I don't know! There's the large barracks in Newbridge town, which I presume the soldiers are coming from. This is roughly the site of barracks today.

    Is that where e used to go when he was mitching;-). I doubt he can see his school from that one?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Thank you! And yes, I'm sure this is the iron footbridge at Farrenboley National School, crossing the Harcourt Street railway line from Lower Churchtown Road to Columbanus Road.
  • Robin Parkes said:
    Would that be Taney National School and, of course, that's the Harcourt Street line. A sister-in-law of mine taught in that school. That line has always fascinated me. It's good the line was preserved or we wouldn't have the LUAS Green Line. I could tell a story about that school, the disused line, a set of car keys and a naughty pupil but daren't :D

    Na Glasáin?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Swordscookie Oi! I didn't where I am today by mitching off school!

    Here is the same bridge in 1994, in bits:

    Farrenboley

    This is now the site of Windy Arbour Station on the Luas green line.

    Nice one Carol. Any info on the shot?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ClickKen04 Not really, I'm afraid, just the where and the when. Unfortunately, what you see is what you get (from me) on this one. Hoping our knowledgeable cohort of train specialists will weigh in...
  • ClickKen04 said:
    Cheers Carol.
