  Well, 1895 onwards. Loco looks like the ‘Bat’, Class E no. 110, from 1891 Edit: This loco ended its days on the Waterford to Tramore line up to 1961. In service for 70 years. They don’t make them like that anymore!

  Station opened 1895. Looks very fresh here, lime on the red brick, zero weeds in the track bed.

  In 1901, Robert John Boag was stationmaster, but he was only 27. I think the gent in the bowler is master here and twice that age. Or maybe the man next to him in the fanciest uniform is Boag, and Mr. Bowler Hat is a boss from the railway company?

  There are several pics. In L_IMP_3526 there is a torn poster advertising FAIRS AUGUST, and a noticeboard marked GLASGOW AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY??

• Niall McAuley said:

  L_IMP_3528 still has neat stacks of red bricks and roof tiles from construction of the station. {EDIT see below, that is one is Clifden, not Achill]

  A superb and incredibly interesting image - thank you for sharing this. A wonderful feat of civil engineering - how on earth did 'they' get those cranes to the top of the structure? Richard

  Flickr is sometimes amazingly four years earlier - in 1955 via Ernies Railway Archive -

  The Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway had no reason to continue after the railway to Enniskillen was closed.

  the main building, the windows arches give it an ecclesiastical appearance. signs of life, washing on the line (not on the rail line, the clothes line)
