I like railways, but as a composition, this is shockingly bad. The eye isn't drawn to any point of interest, the train (if that's meant to be the focus) is too small, the centre is a telegraph pole and the whole thing is basically a big triangle in the lower half a horizontally split field.

The Ballaghadereen branch is gone, but the Sligo line is still there in Streetview. I think O'Dea may have climbed one of the signal posts to get this angle.

Niall McAuley said:
derangedlemur Maybe O'Dea took this one in a hurry so he could climb down, run and take one at the station.

Niall McAuley Looking at your map link, he seems to be where the .400 field meets the .831 field.

3 April 1961 was a Monday. At 17:21, or could it possibly be 05:21?

One definition of a tamper is a "neutron reflector in nuclear weapons" ... which could fit with the "other galaxy" appearance. but as we all should know , ramping is a measure of compaction. it's a fine looking bit of kit
