Description
West Cork Railways: A Journey Through Time Step aboard and experience the history of the West Cork Railway in this beautifully illustrated travelogue. With over 188 images, including photographs, vintage posters, postcards, and colour slides, you'll embark on a journey from the famine to the 1960s. As you explore the railway's story, you'll discover the daily lives of those who worked on the line, the social history of the communities it served, and the engineering marvels that made it run. From steam locomotives to halt-keeper's houses, every detail is meticulously documented in this unique record of a bygone era. Today, the West Cork Railway may be gone, but its legacy lives on in the memories of those who rode its tracks. This book is a loving tribute to a piece of Ireland's history, and a must-have for anyone interested in the country's railway heritage.
