IRISH RAILWAYS VOL 1 IRISH RAILWAY MISCELLANY NEW DVD
THIS NEW AND REVISED EDITION OF THE PIONEERING VOLUME IN OUR IRISH
RAILWAYS SERIES PROVIDES A SPLENDID INTRODUCTION TO SOME OF THE
DELIGHTS WHICH COULD BE SEEN ON BOTH IRELAND'S 5ft 3in STANDARD GAUGE
TRACKS AND THE COUNTRY'S FAMED NARROW GAUGE LINES, FROM THE 1950s
THROUGH TO THE 1970s.
THE PROGRAMME PROGRESSES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH BEGINNING WITH THE
RAILWAYS OF ULSTER. SEQUENCES FEATURE DERBY-BUILT TANKS AT
WORK ON MOTORWAY CONSTRUCTION TRAINS, THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY IN THE
1950s, INCLUDING MANY LINES WHICH WERE SOON TO CLOSE AND THE SLIGO,
LEITRIM & NORTHERN COUNTIES RAILWAY WHOSE LOCOMOTIVES WERE
KNOWN BY NAME ONLY AND NEVER CARRIED NUMBERS. ANOTHER UNIQUE
SIGHT IS THAT OF THE FINTONA HORSE TRAM, WHOSE MOTIVE POWER ATE HAY AND
WAS CALLED DICK!
THREE NARROW GAUGE SYSTEMS FEATURE IN THE PROGRAMME; THE COUNTY DONEGAL
WITH ITS RED AND CREAM RAILCARS AND RED LIVERIED STEAM LOCOS, THE CAVAN
& LEITRIM WITH ITS COAL TRAINS AND COW CATCHERS AND NOT A
DIESEL IN SIGHT, AND THE WEST CLARE LINE, FULLY MODERNISED IN THE MID
1950s.
STANDARD GAUGE LINES SEEN IN THE REPUBLIC INCLUDE THOSE SERVING
DUBLIN'S THREE MAIN STATIONS, THE TRAMWAY THROUGH THE STREETS OF CORK
AND THE LINES SERVING THE WEST OF THAT COUNTY. MOTIVE POWER
RANGES FROM RELATIVELY MODERN STEAM LOCOMOTIVES THROUGH TO VENERABLE
SURVIVORS FROM THE LAST CENTURY, THE FIRST GENERATION OF DIESEL
LOCOMOTIVES AND RAILCARS AND THAT MOST IRISH OF RAIL VEHICLES, THE
RAIL-BUS.

NORTHERN'S BELFAST TERMINUS AT GREAT VICTORIA STREET WHICH CLOSED IN
THE 1970s, THE NEW STATION OPENED ON ITS SITE BY NORTHERN IRELAND
