By the end of the 1950s, steam had already mostly disappeared from
passenger work in the Republic of Ireland, yet it lingered on in
Northern Ireland. In fact, it lasted longer there than anywhere
else on the main line within the British Isles. The products of
General Motors came to dominate locomotive-hauled freight and
passenger work in the entire 32 Counties, whilst electrification
transformed travel in and around Dublin. Preservation has ensured
that much of what might have vanished in the way of infrastructure,
the iconic narrow gauge and a wonderful variety of locomotives is
still there to be enjoyed by both the Irish and visitors from near
and far. With over 200 images, this is a visual journey around the
Emerald Isle, starting in the 1960s and moving through to modern
times, showing the various traction, locomotives and stations that
have made Ireland's railways what they are today.
