Description

Visit five of Ireland’s lost narrow-gauge lines and five of its 5-foot 3 inch-gauge companies in pictures taken between 1914 and 1966. Many images are from the 1950s when much change was afoot but also when some old friends had lingered long enough to be remembered here. Landing at Dún Laoghaire, we visit Dublin and the Great Northern before heading for Cork and taking a clockwise tour through Munster, Connaught, and Ulster, leaving Ireland via the NCC at Larne Harbour. Only half of the photographers are known and many then only by their initials. Maybe you can help identify them?
