The rail lines as they appear in this shot have changed dramatically and I guess there are housing developments on some of them by now! As I see it O'Dea was out on the permanent way looking back from near Janesboro towards the city. You can see the steeple of St. Johns Cathedral on the right centre and the old loco sheds on the left. In the centre are bulk cement tanks for transporting the powdered cement from Cement Limited out near Castlemungret. Off to the left is Mount St. Lawrence Cemetery where generations of Mulligans and many fine Cookies are buried. I don't know yet how to hide a long link but I reckon that the shot was taken around here as seen on Google Earth! www.google.ie/maps/place/Parnell+St,+Limerick/@52.653827,...

Swordscookie Spot on! This whole area of Limerick was known as Carey's Road Yard, one of two large railway goods handling areas in Limerick City (the other being located the passenger station), whereas Carey's Road was located to the west serving the lines leading to Foynes and Tralee. The train of wagons visible in the centre of the picture are not the cement bulks, but is the block-oil train which operated between Foynes and Drogheda. Locomotive A46 in the CIÉ black livery is shunting a rake of CIÉ standard 'H' vans, possibly conveying bagged cement from the nearby Castlemungret cement works, while A22 can be seen in the distance. A solitary CIÉ brakevan can be seen to the right, parked alongside what was formerly the passenger line leading into Limerick station from the North Kerry lines. Carey's Yard fell into disuse towards the late 1970s with the withdrawal of loose-coupled goods trains and the sidings fell silent after 1980, and nine years later the rusty tracks were removed leaving just the two separate parallel lines to Foynes and Castlemungret.

Anyone know what that big black thing is that's half way down and above the wagons on the left?

Beara Peninsula Thats a grain chute where grain from Ranks Mill in the city was poured into wagons for transportation. Kosygin wasn't a Cookie either!
