  A lot of old train stations in Argentina look like this nowadays!

• Ciarán Cooney said:

  Lovely portrait of the station, fortunately it still survives. This photo was featured on a BBC railway walk series about 15 years ago in which Mrs Lawlor was interviewed (not sure if she is still around today), I tried to recreate the image myself when I visited Borris.

  Beaten to the Streetview, I will play my GeoHive OS 25" link.

• Gamy Squirrel said:

  Nice shot love the old station and lady.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Ciarán Cooney That's lovely to know. I've added your info in the description above. Who was Mrs Lawlor? Was she Station "Master"? Was such a thing possible back in the day, or was she Mrs Station Master?

  How clean the whole place is? The stationmaster must have been so proud of his domain.

• instinctive mind said:

  Nice action photo. Powerful. As soon as I heard the RR Warning Sound I always ran to where I could safely watch ( The Train ) when I was a kid - - -
