    New Ross Standard - Thursday 20 May 1993 carried a notice for an auction of railway sleepers and rails from the former Quigley Magnesite Plant at Ballynacourty. So it had gone by May 1993.

    Wikipedia article on Magnesite.

    Used , and in the production of Magnesium Oxide, a heat resistant material.

    Also used in floor screeds, and as a catalyst.

    I'm not a big fan of using seaside land as golf courses, but there's no doubt it looks better now!

    The " Lord Edward" Public house or Thomas Cunniams as it was known then is the only building left standing....the furthest building on left. It was built in 1900. Streetview

    Nice shot.
  • Peter Cartwright said:
    The car on the right looks like a Riley - possibly a 1933 Falcon.

    and the truck looks like a Dodge Brothers K-34

    Peter Cartwright Good call. Thank you! Evidently the hexagonal ventilators on the bonnet and twin suicide doors went in later models ...

    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.
