  The construction of the Inniscara Dam flooded part of the Cork Macroom railway. www.flickr.com/photos/abandonedrailsireland/6059862111/in... A few bridges and viaducts are still visible, at times, in the reservior.

  Construction of the dam started in February 1953. Commission date 1957. Do I see pylons in the valley behind? Below the dam itself perhaps?

  Per wikipedia, construction began in 1953.
