On Irish Railways
Most Recent Photo

079 - at Carlow on 14.11.08 on ex Ballina Liner.
Welcome
My collection of what is found on or associated with the railways of Ireland. Presently engine/demu/emu. The second gallery is for Carriages and Wagons see links below for this.

My main interests lie in Irish Railways Heritage and Preservation as well as Railway photography. My hopes are for the controlled growth of the preservation movement with the establishment of a museum and broad gauge heritage centre(s).
