Covering the 1960s to date, this is a portrait of the Limerick to Sligo line which will revive memories of this unique railway. A century after the GSWR took over, the Western Rail Corridor is a display of its own history. At the south end, a busy passenger service, in the middle, renewal work is under way, and at the northern end all is quiet.
A scenic photographic odyssey through the 'Golden Vale' of County Tipperary covering the route from Limerick to Waterford along with the branches and section of the Dublin-Cork main line that intersects them. Drawing primarily from the photos of Barry Carse, the book illustrates these lines from 1960 onwards.
A photographic journey across the two scenic railway routes in the south of the county, which once upon a time connected Waterford city with Wexford town and points further afield. The photographs are mainly from Barry Carse and many of the scenes depict operations which not only have long since ceased, but of which little or no trace now remains.
