  Great photo, the engine is an 0-6-0, the typical British-style goods engine for many years.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Patrick Castelli Any input on the sign? Was that gradient, maybe?

• Angela Orlando said:

  Does look like a very cold day from the billows of smoke... neat old B&W!!! Thanks for sharing... 1960 was a good year!!! This is the date that Pear Harbor was bombed back in 1941 which was a horrible day in history!!!

  Very Nice Photo of the Train. Children love to watch the Trains crossing.

  Even today we use this system to reverse the locomotive of the train, only to change the mode rather than manually, but mechanical.

  Wow, I know those tables were balanced so one could push it, but that looks tough!
  
  I've never seen a small turn table off of a siding like this, I've only seen turntables in front of a roundhouse... Then again, I'm not that familiar with foreign railroads.

• Hanover Fiste of Mad City said:

  Just from the feel of this photo I'm betting that this is a reprint of an earlier shot; 1960 just seems to be WAY too late for this scene!
  
  I'd subtract maybe 30 - 40 years from that.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Gavno, earliest O'Dea photos we have are June 1937; very latest 1971. Know what you mean about the feel of the photo, but have to say that the dating on O'Dea Collection is usually spot-on...

  You wait days, weeks for a clock - and then THREE turn up together! 🕦

  beachcomber australia I will have to talk to the powers that be to ascertain if you can count two visible faces of a multifaceted clock as two clocks rather than one clock?

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons Perhaps if the two faces are showing different times as here? I think because of parallax error (?).
