    Good Question. I'd just like to thank James P. O'Dea and the O'Dea Collection for sharing.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    only1tanuki Yes, we owe a huge debt to Mr O'Dea for capturing decades of railway life in Ireland!
  • Mike said:
    Bill Brandt would have been proud of an image like this! Wonderful framing of the staircase, and Depth of Field!!

    Looking North, towards the station and platforms, judging by the OS 25" map.

    This signal box was at a level crossing. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,704937,738127,7,9
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac Thanks for all of the notes, but I think the "Head Covering Instrument" has a more generally accepted name?
  • O Mac said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons You were lucky,-- I held off from noting the handcuffs......What a lovely building.
    Streetview Bit of history with this image.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac I appreciate your "restraints"! And thank you for the streetview - now added to map...

    O Mac I hope there is more modern equipment inside the Box today!!

    The SB or signal box on the OSI 25" map. Aerial view suggests it is gone now, the spot is a carpark.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    ODEA 35/7 suggests that this is not the SB on the 25", but a different one nearer to the station platform. Yes, ODEA 36/76 shows this signal box beside the Goods Store shown on the 25", which is where the new station is now.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The board shows twin tracks heading for Waterford and Carlow to the right and a single track at left heading to Portlaoise. The Portlaoise branch was closed in 1962.
  • O Mac said:
    The signal levers up the line at Maryborough South, Co. Laois. (Portlaoise) would have taken some getting used to. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000304008
