    Seems to be a mix of Populars and Anglias, or else Anglias of different vintages.

    And a quartet couple of Consuls at the back of the queue en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Consul#Ford_Consul_Mark_II_(1956%E2%80%931962)

    I'm unfamiliar with Cork but that looks like old Ford Factory in the background (& on the far bank of the Lee). So that would make it (unsurprisingly) the goods yard alongside Horgan's Quay
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Streetview from Horgan's Quay across the Lee. The OSI maps show there used to be Travelling Cranes here as seen in the background. The cars are most likely being loaded for transport to Dublin.

    Belfast Telegraph - Tuesday 27 January 1959:
    Eire to offer holiday camp coaches The Eire Transport Board, C.I.E., is to provide holiday camping coaches next summer at Killarney, Dungarvan and Carrick-on-Shannon. Announcing this last night, Dr. C. S. Andrews, chairman of the Board, said the coaches would be let at a very reasonable cost to families and parties travelling by C.I.E. train services. If the idea caught on, the scheme would be extended. Dr. Andrews said the cost of hotel accommodation for large families often prevented them from having holidays in districts they would like to visit. In each of the camping coaches, which would be located at or near station premises, there would be sleeping accommodation for eight persons, a living room and a fully equipped kitchen, and all crockery. cutlery, cooking utensils, towels and bed linen would be supplied.

    A "lifting gang" would be the lads pulling up the tracks after a line is closed, but according to eiretrains; Passenger services on the Mallow to Waterford line ceased in 1967, but the section just west of Dungarvan town (Ballinacourty) to Waterford remained in regular use until 1982 serving the magnesite plant there. The tracks were eventually taken up in the late 1990s.

    SPOTTED ! At 0.25 in this 1966 film - youtu.be/rIO9F94Vz5U
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think Ballynacourty is actually East of Dungarvan, so these lads were probably lifting from Dungarvan to Mallow.
