I've posted a link to your photo post on the Facebook page Things You Miss About New Ross. I've also repeated the question about Nicholas Coady so somebody may answer it there.

One of the members has given me the following information:

Coady family were from Waterford. Nicholas was killed in an explosion at the tunnel [presumably while working there].

There are a number of railside memorials along Irish Rail lines, usually just a simple iron cross without names or dates.
