The construction of the Inniscara Dam flooded part of the Cork Macroom railway. www.flickr.com/photos/abandonedrailsireland/6059862111/in... A few bridges and viaducts are still visible, at times, in the reservior.

Construction of the dam started in February 1953. Commission date 1957. Do I see pylons in the valley behind? Below the dam itself perhaps?

The red steel column at right is marked as a fire extinguisher location. Ironically there are two flammable liquid storage containers and I don't see an extinguisher.

I call the fixture with the holes for a forklift by a generic name: "ground support equipment." The pylon is protected against getting dropped or crashing into something by the fixture. By the time all of the bolts are torqued and the bleed air lines are in place, a part like this might cost in the six figures range.
