    Seems to be a 4-4-0T of some sort.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Or maybe a 4-4-0. According to wikipedia the last 4-4-0T was withdrawn in 1939.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Yep. Apparently it's a GNIR class PP 4-4-0.

    “Vintage travel posters are among the most attractive and among the highlights in this auction is Lot 478, a trans-Atlantic liner poster, for the "Dominion Line" featuring an illustration of SS Canada. It was made for display in "Great Southern and Western Railway" stations, advertising the line's trans-Atlantic schedule for autumn and winter 1900. The poster has added historical interest because these sailing never, in fact, happened.

    The SS Canada was taken out of service in mid-1900 to ship troops to Southern Africa to fight in the Boer War and the services advertised on this poster were cancelled as a result. “

    Suck Diesel Lots of records of application for naturalization in subsequent years travelled on the SS New England. Here's one, Cornelius Sheehan, Queenstown to Boston in 1900

    None of the dates of sailings in 1900 match the dates on the poster. Perhaps these dates were best guesses, dependent on several factors, of perhaps the applicants had difficulty remembering the exact dates after 19 years.
  • John Spooner said:
    Suck Diesel The Canada may have been withdrawn, but the New England continued in service as advertised on the poster. Here's the top of the passenger list for the 26th October sailing from Queenstown to Boston, with J James in command.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons To answer your question Carol, ladies who tried to rise above their station and enter the first class waiting room were given a dose of cold shoulder by those ladies entitled to be there and hot tongue by the waiting room attendant!
