So, this belongs to a GNR (not GMR ) fire engine! catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306468

Fred Dean Snr. Is it GMR or GNR ? Confused! And another on the same side with a man in a mac - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306467

The details (eg chimney) in the backgrounds of those other photos should enable a precise position of the fire engine in the rail yards at Inchicore - www.google.com/maps/place/Inchicore,+Dublin,+Ireland/@53.... *dusts off the trigonometry set*

Why is it in Location Hunters? Sure it's Adelaide Yard in Belfast. There is a new traincare facility there now.

The locomotive in the foreground (no. 187) was built in 1913 and was withdrawn from service some time in the 5 years after this photo.

Great shot of the shunting yard, great to see working steam engines.

Interesting detail: looking through the window of the 3rd loco, I think I see the Red Hand logo of the Ulster Transportation Authority, which was only formed in May 1958, a year or so before this shot. The earlier GNR logo had a smaller Red Hand, surrounded by castles, a ship, a skeleton (?) etc. [Edit: the skeleton is from the arms of Derry, the ship from Belfast, 3 of the castles from Dublin]
