    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

    That's Newbridge station between Kildare and Sallins, looking eastwards. Interesting photo, the buildings haven't changed that much.

    Ciarán Cooney Aha, so that's why I was having difficulty finding "Kilbride" station! It really hasn't changed. So used it be called Kilbride??
  • Swordscookie said:
    I was looking at the location and trying to think when I ever saw a railway line near Kilbride. I may be mistaken but I don't think there ever was one???? Doesn't matter anyway that is a good shot of Newbridge and it looked like that any time I passed through it.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie And don't suppose you know where the barracks was? (Link above)
  • Ciarán Cooney said:
    I've always known it to be Newbridge, I checked wiki history and there's no mention of Kilbride, but I don't know! There's the large barracks in Newbridge town, which I presume the soldiers are coming from. This is roughly the site of barracks today.
