The old station house and Engine house have been redeveloped, but are still recognizable: Streetview

Beautiful and powerful steam engine.

Do you upload on weekends now too?

Love this one Carol ;) There was a steam train running between Dublin, Connolly station to Maynooth, think there is another next week too!

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection This was the second locomotive of the NSW Railways to bear No 51. Entered service on 22 December 1891, and sold to the South Maitland Railway Company on 4 September 1919. Travelled 330,511 miles as part of the NSWGR fleet. Built by Beyer Peacock and Company B/N 3335

I always think of this film when I see pictures of little railway stations! - www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1lxDjd_fi8

pity the station house isn't included -before the current building got built all around it!

This must be the same signalman as in www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/7076908151 The weird contraption (technical term) looks like a staff exchange machine.

blackpoolbeach I was just adding a note on that device. My father who was a train guard for many years also caught the staff but he may have been a backup in case the driver or fireman (if there was one) missed it. Sometimes they were a large item like a baton and more often they were approx six inches long and carried in a pouch attached to a ring through which the catcher hooked his arm.
