    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."

    Why is it in Location Hunters? Sure it's Adelaide Yard in Belfast. There is a new traincare facility there now.

    The locomotive in the foreground (no. 187) was built in 1913 and was withdrawn from service some time in the 5 years after this photo.

    Great shot of the shunting yard, great to see working steam engines.

    Interesting detail: looking through the window of the 3rd loco, I think I see the Red Hand logo of the Ulster Transportation Authority, which was only formed in May 1958, a year or so before this shot. The earlier GNR logo had a smaller Red Hand, surrounded by castles, a ship, a skeleton (?) etc. [Edit: the skeleton is from the arms of Derry, the ship from Belfast, 3 of the castles from Dublin]
