railwaymen

I could not find any film made in 1960 Dublin, but here is a good film of "C I E in the 1960's" just to pass the time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X-smrTKK54

Could it be this: www.imdb.com/title/tt0054120/locations "A Terrible Beauty"? ":In Ireland, it's 1941 and Irish Republicans have made a tentative bond with Nazi Germany to help Ireland in its never-ending struggle with Great Britain." Movie was filmed in Dublin

Anybody see Robert Mitchum in the crowd? lol They filmed "Michael Collins" and "Angela's Ashes" here, but those are much later than the 60's.

It might be a TV ad, although obviously not for RTE. Or it could be a newsreel...

I use to know once the train hit Westland row from Bray we were at the end of the line for getting off in Tara Street :(

I'd say there was many a good story told in that group? That looks like a big spanner - the one in his hand not the man himself!!!! If he turns too quickly the man on the left will let him know what he thinks of him when he gets his breath back (if ever)!

Swordscookie Methinks I'm the spanner for tagging that tool as a wrench! :D

I think Broadstone is now used by Dublin Bus...

Joefuz, it has been for many years. At one time it was a national hub with the Royal Canal having a spur and basin nearby. Barges, buses and trains all operating from there and so close to the city centre must have made it a hive of activity. There was a repair depot attached to the station and accessible up further towards Phibsborough.

Great shot!

Your Correct, water is being taken on in this image and not coal! You can see in enlargement water running from the end of the metal feed pipe where it meets the canvas hose, on close inspection you can see the canvas hose entering the water tank on the tender just below the circular tank cover which is standing up against the upright of the coal bunker and the fireman is watching closely the water level as I think this tank is almost full

The folks in that house on the right have built an extension since 1961 (Google Streetview). The railway layout was a little different in 1907 (Os 25" map), the tank was originally to the right, not between the tracks, and there was a turntable to the right where that engine shed is in 1961.

This looks great on black Carol.

Nice shot

I was trying to figure out why the worker had to put such effort into lifting the hose but of course he is not lifting the hose he is opening the valve to allow the water to flow into the tank. Its a nice shot of the operation though the hose connection below the tower is a lot lower than I remember them.
