    That a great image- you can't even see the rock from the main road now!

    Wendy: Well, if you hold on, I'm searching for a good shot of the rock to add too... :)

    It's on the north side of the rock. It doesn't seem to be marked on the OSI 25" - Presumably it's a branch coming down from Goold's Cross - maybe a line for sugar beet or a BNM line. I'm not sure where you got the station opened date from.

    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.

    Nice shot
  • Swordscookie said:
    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.

    Great photo, the engine is an 0-6-0, the typical British-style goods engine for many years.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Patrick Castelli Any input on the sign? Was that gradient, maybe?
  • Angela Orlando said:
    Does look like a very cold day from the billows of smoke... neat old B&W!!! Thanks for sharing... 1960 was a good year!!! This is the date that Pear Harbor was bombed back in 1941 which was a horrible day in history!!!
