    Curious. The OSI says it's double track all the way, but it looks from this picture like only the near line is used.

    "Shortly after the Midland Great Western Company took over the Clonsilla-Navan line a new station was built a Fairyhouse to cater for race day traffic. The last special train to the Easter Meeting ran in 1940." www.irishidentity.com/extras/wayoflife/stories/railways.htm

    There is a reverse view but the "GENTLEMEN" sign doesn't seem to match - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000303277 . "FAIRY HOUSE" sign is two words ... And Mr O'Dea went back 24 years later (in 1964) with his trusty Austin Cambridge - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307029

    Flickr sometimes has an amazing earlier photo! Via Fingal Local Studies Was Mr O'Dea on that wonderful old footbridge? The station seems to have been rebuilt nearer the level crossing. In May 2020 via Barry Kelly

    Two storey house to the left is still visible in Streetview. One of the few railway shots we've seen where things are in better nick today!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Thanks for Streetview, Niall. That house was apparently the old Station Master's house, or so I've been told.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I'd be interested to see this O'Dea photo, although it does not seem to be digitized yet. I think it may be beside my old primary school.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Will pop it up next week, Niall - not the most exciting photo ever (with all due respect to James O'Dea), but I'll add something else the same day to keep everyone else happy too... Amazingly, it seems to be the only photo with Churchtown in any of our catalogue info! Anywhere else around your old stomping ground that you'd like to see?
  • PaganTree said:
    That's Great, Thanks very much for uploading this. I live right next to the station and it has changed so so much since then. The signal cabin is still there thankfully! Once again thanks for putting this up.
