O Mac Thanks for all of the notes, but I think the "Head Covering Instrument" has a more generally accepted name?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons You were lucky,-- I held off from noting the handcuffs......What a lovely building.
Streetview Bit of history with this image.

O Mac I appreciate your "restraints"! And thank you for the streetview - now added to map...

O Mac I hope there is more modern equipment inside the Box today!!

great image from yesteryear

Great idea NLI. All too often these accidents result in multiple deaths and the effects on the community are extensive. The train driver involved is also deeply affected by the collision though he is unhurt in most cases! This is a cutting from the Irish Independent of 15/2/2004 Retired parish priest of Shanaglish, Co Galway, Father Patrick Healy, 68, was killed when the car he was driving was struck by the Dublin-Galway train at the level crossing at Oranmore. None of the 300 passengers on the train was injured.

Nice!

Thank you for this reminder.

Thank you.... OSI 25" Streetview
