Hi Faing
You'll need a Photobucket account. Sign up to this, upload your photos and then it will generate something called IMG code that will let you past your pictures into your post on this forum. I know Limerick pretty well so I am really keen to see your pics.

Great pictures. I love the old, derelict and abandonded railway stations.
 
Sure its Ardagh raiway station, part of the Limerick to Tralee line what was disused since about 1975 and Ardagh is the stop before newcastle West one way and Rathkeale the other way and the lin goes on to Cappagh where it split for Foynes via Askeaton what still have some rel good stations there.the line is now part of the Grate Southern trail and you can walk from Ardagh to Tralee if you canwalk 50mile that is.it is in fair condition for a place tha t has been abndonded for long time andis for sale at the moment for too much money.it was a vital link for farmers in its day and the creamery is next door over the rial bridge
 
heres anothr station near to me that is "oficially" open kind of....the place hasn't seen a train in a fw years but isn't closed it is just inacesible because the iron bridge on the line in isn't strong enouh to take the weight of a loco so they keep it open for whatever reason, this one is Foynes (Faing in Irish) now oyu now how i get my name onhere i put some more up sometime

Awesome photo's Faing ... The second to last is superb of the water tower, signal box and track.
Well Done...
 
oooooooooooooooh I love these, I love anything to do with old railways, so you've got a fan already. :) The first pics of the first station reminds me of the old railway station around the corner from me. The station house is the same and so is the station building. Looked very like the inside of the station building too. (The one near me is now a business centre for my town so totally changed now :( ).

Loving all the pics of the second station, looks like a railway depot too. love all the tracks and water tower. Excellent work mate, excellent pics too. I love it. :)

:) Sal
 
A man who was full of aggravation
left on a permanent vacation.
His wife stayed home
so he went it alone,
and spent days exploring old stations...:p
 
When Faing was just forty nine
nearly all irish trains ran on time
till one day a disaster
left his right leg in plaster
must of been snow on the line. (the big eejit)

These are great - I know Foynes very well as my Grandmother and her family came from Glin and Tarbert. I didn't know there was even a train line there at all.
Thanks for the pics
GDZ:)
