Summary
| Description |
English: O'Dea has created such a wonderful record of the transition from steam to diesel and the closure of stations. This magnificent shot of a visit by a beautiful locomotive must have been a mouth watering occasion for him and all railway enthusiasts?
And, indeed, whether foaming at the mouth our otherwise, our own railway enthusiasts have identified this "2-6-0" loco as No 99 (class W) "King George VI”, of the Northern Counties (NCC) railway company. According to this Wikipedia article, there were 15 of these locos in use in Ireland. Most with colorful names :) Photographer: James P. O'Dea Collection:James P. O'Dea Date: 24 September 1960 NLI Ref.: ODEA 22/50 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie |
