    I like railways, but as a composition, this is shockingly bad. The eye isn't drawn to any point of interest, the train (if that's meant to be the focus) is too small, the centre is a telegraph pole and the whole thing is basically a big triangle in the lower half a horizontally split field.

    The Ballaghadereen branch is gone, but the Sligo line is still there in Streetview. I think O'Dea may have climbed one of the signal posts to get this angle.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    derangedlemur Maybe O'Dea took this one in a hurry so he could climb down, run and take one at the station.

    Niall McAuley Looking at your map link, he seems to be where the .400 field meets the .831 field.

    I was thinking Memorial Bridge (?) in Dublin City Centre but it looks too short for that?

    *cough* Hargrave not Hargreave.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    It looks as if there are points near the camera, suggesting that this is the whole bridge - quite short all right.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Looks a bit forrin to me.

    I'm going to stick my neck out and say that the distant signal with a swallow-tail and a bobble and spike on top is a GWR feature and we should maybe be looking in the UK.

Culchies on track for...

    Can't say much about the track but this is from wonderful Wikipedia: The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) on October 30, 1974 (at 4:00 am). Held at the 20th of May Stadium (now the Stade Tata Raphaël), it pitted the undefeated world heavyweight champion George Foreman against challenger Muhammad Ali, a former heavyweight champion; the attendance was 60,000. Ali won by knockout, putting Foreman down just before the end of the eighth round. It has been called "arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century". It was a major upset victory, with Ali coming in as a 4–1 underdog against the unbeaten, heavy-hitting Foreman. The fight is famous for Ali's introduction of the rope-a-dope tactic.

    "Kiltimagh railway station ... was closed to passenger traffic in 1963, with goods traffic ending in 1975." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiltimagh_railway_station PS: According to www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf, goods closure was on 17.06.1963, whereas www.museumsofmayo.com/Kiltimagh1.htm indicates that the last goods train passed through the Station in 1979. PPS: From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Railway_Corridor: "Passenger services between Claremorris and Collooney ended in 1963, with the section being closed completely in 1975."
