    I think the photographer is on the footbridge shown on the OS 25" map here. If you flip to the modern streetmap, there is no sign of the railway now. Google map location: at this green arrow.

    The loco in the shot appears to be 171 (Slieve Gullion), which is currently stored by the RPSI at Whitehead awaiting overhaul. www.steamtrainsireland.com/171/

    The station would close 6 days later on 21st March 1959 - you can see more about it here www.flickr.com/photos/2cme/5416013948/ as well as a contemporary view of the remaining buildings. The Irish Railway Records Society had a much more cosmopolitan following and was not tarnished (in those days anyway) with the current perception of "train spotters" and I would suggest the ladies were part of the IRRS group (or partners/relatives of those there)

    Now that is an interesting shot, there are just the two passenger cars and the remainder of the train is made up of goods wagons, that must be unusual for an outing. I was going on the dart to Lansdown Road a couple of weeks ago and as I was passing through Pearse Station there were larger crowds than usual. Further down the line a steam engine with carriages was getting ready for the IRRS group to go on an outing but as it was between stations I did not manage to see it in time to get any shots.

    Are you sure the location isn't Buggleskelly?

All that remains of the GNR!

"Railway bridge, in an unidentified location" is likely on the Dublin/Drogheda line north of Amiens street, Dublin

    I was thinking Memorial Bridge (?) in Dublin City Centre but it looks too short for that?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    *cough* Hargrave not Hargreave.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    It looks as if there are points near the camera, suggesting that this is the whole bridge - quite short all right.

    Looks a bit forrin to me.

    I'm going to stick my neck out and say that the distant signal with a swallow-tail and a bobble and spike on top is a GWR feature and we should maybe be looking in the UK.
