    With regards to obscuring the engine surly it's the workers who are the subject of the photo and a fine one at that. I assume there must be plenty of photos of engines. Whether it's an occasion or just a group shot maybe someone can help but the 1911 census lists a Thomas Gorry as an engine fireman.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Thomondrow Oh sorry, I just meant that if we could see more of the engine, we could find out more about the location, original date, etc. of the photo...

    With the open cab design, this is pre turn of the century. Common design for 1880-90

    The link captioned, "Find out more about this image", is malformed for this photograph. Several photographs in the James Ring’s West Coast Set have similarly malformed links. As there are more than a half-dozen I have not made individual comments on each.

    Thanks Pixel Wrangler - I'll comb through the set & fix those up now. -- Courtney

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called australian steam locomotives, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    The clock on the station says 3.55pm, but there are no passengers to be seen, just railway staff staring at the camera, and enough locomotives to delight any trainspotter. Very odd! The original second station (on the left) was a very handsome neo-classical temple.

    Locomotive No.1 (centre of photo) is now in the Powerhouse Museum. Full details and heaps of photos: www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=19352 I see from the blurb (there is a lot of information there) that this locomotive "was withdrawn from service in 1877 after 22 years of operation, having travelled 155 667 miles (250 468 km)". Which suggests that this photo is earlier than 1877 (No.1 looks in great condition here), much earlier than most of the Tyrrell Collection. I hope the experts at the Powerhouse Museum know about this photo!
