Irish railwayana: some photos

This page gives a pictorial flavour of the diversity of signs from the many Irish railroad companies. Although the construction site signs have been removed, this page is just a sampler for the much fuller information on the second site, which has upwards of 200 images of Irish signs.

MRNCC Gate

The following four pictures show GSR type fences and gates. A TDLR fence, photographed in situ, appears on p.93 of The Tralee and Dingle Railway, D.G. Rowlands.

Very similar, but WDLR is smaller and has an extra line.

The two fences (as well as the third TDLR) are identical, apart from company initials. I forgot to paint the comma on the GSWR!

A rare MGWR gate.

Shows a GSWR 1/4 milepost. The 1/2 is also shown. Presumably the 3/4 slopes down?
