    This train? may be in the Repair shop but I doubt it is in for repair! rather it looks like it is scrapped or being cannibalised for other uses. See www.leitrimguardian.ie/2003/Cavan%20Leitrim%20Railway.pdf " In 1925 all the railways in the Free State, including the Cavan & Leitrim were merged as the Great Southern Railway Co. The amalgamation, as it was called, marked the start of the decline of the narrow gauge. Its workshops were stripped of much of their machinery, and many of the tradesmen were transferred or became redundant. All major engine repairs were sent to Inchicore." Is (was) it a Narrow Guage Engine?

    I might say that it's probably a standard gauge loco, judging from the length, and the size of the pistons. I'd agree with Danny it doesn't look too good, probably been cannibalised for other uses. The C&L had much smaller engines, so I might assume this photo is probably taken elsewhere on the county, maybe in Inchicore, but where would involve a bit of detective work!

    I'm afraid the ODEA link doesn't work. Should be catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000304159

    It may have been abandoned may years before the photo was made.

    How about Cavan & Leitrim Railway 4-4-0T narrow-gauge tank engine? These had outside cylinders, a round-topped firebox, and solid wheels on the leading bogie. "Nos.5 and 6 were scrapped in 1925 and 1927. The others gradually lost their names except No.3 Isabel, which retained hers until withdrawal in 1949. No.7 had been cut up in 1945, but the remaining four lasted until the closure of the line in April 1959. No.3 has gone to the USA for preservation in working order near New York." Here is a route map, the western terminus being the coal mines at Arigna. Here is Arigna Station on OSI historic map There is a railway water tank by the roadside at Drumshanbo on Google Street View. Don't run into this in the dark.
