Some gorgeous pictures there. Used always be out at Red Iron when we were younger but I still freak out before I get to the actual bridge. Won't step out onto it.
Went sea kayaking off Kilfarassy in September and there are some amazing views out there. Will go again next summer and remember to bring a camera!

what kind of a wimp are you, don't walk on the old sleepers just walk down the peice of flat iron by the side of the rail.On a clear day one can get great pictures of the city and of the construction work been carried out on the new bridge.Sully is right!!! be carefull and enjoy the view

Some might walk down the sleepers, but they are pretty dodgy - even on the old track by the train - we stuck to the flat iron. Its not safe on the one side though.

Word of warning - Walk down and up the LEFT side on the widest iron part. The wood (sorry, I cant think of the rail parts names!) that supports it all is very dodgy. The iron support on the RIGHT gets pretty weak half way. It bends as you walk on it.

I will work on that with the help of a certain woolly animal,if you travel a little down the road from the suir Railway bridge you will come across the new Waterford By pass bridge

I was down there today, nothing to see really. Big trenches, cranes and a few support pillars.

Seriously, stop posting the images full scale. If you cant reduce the size using photobucket, try something like pix.ie and upload it as an album.

Iv given instructions on how to simply link the images here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=54433116&postcount=35

I appreciated the contribution, but its a pain having to sort out all your image posts. While most of us have broadband, there are a small few who dont and this topic takes to long to load for them. It also breaks up the layout as a result, so mobile viewers will have a hard time viewing the topic.

Thanks for understanding mate.

Ah yes, I know exactly where your talking about now. Cheers, ill try it later today.

That train in the pictures, is that the one parked in the small field on the way down to the bridge? Its covered in vandalism, not matching the one on the pictures.. There are a few carriages around it also.. all rusted..

th

that old engine belongs to the New ross railway society, most of the vandalism was done in kerry where she was stationed for a short while.
found this
Five railways served this area and four had the name of the City in their title.

They were, the Waterford, Limerick and Western, Waterford Kilkenny, Central Ireland, the Waterford Dungarvan and Lismore, the Waterford and Tramore, and the Dublin South Eastern.

Ine of the few named GSWR locos, spent 59 years of her life in Waterford shunting the docks and goods yard and taking an occasional trip to Clover Meats with cattle and to the Ironfounders with loads of scrap.

The foundry is on the site of the former Waterford, Dungarvan and Lismore Railway Station.

This City's third station, Waterford Manor, was demolished in 1974 and Quinnsworth supermarket is now on the site. Waterford was the supply depot for loco coal, and a ship from Cardiff paid a weekly visit to the goods yard. Two ships were on the route, the SS Carnalea and the MV Mossmore. Coal was supplied to Clonmel, Rosslare, Wexford, Enniscorthy, Thurles and Kilkenny. There was plenty of work in the depot. Since the shock close of the Quigley magnesite plant at Ballinacourty in 1982 and the shock collapse of Bell Lines, the loco depot has been reduced to a small branch line depot with work for just a handful of men.

You'll see the railway bridge cross over above the road...you can't miss it,
Get out and walk up the right hand side of it

Keep driving till you see it, its not at the end of the road though

Okay drove down the road tonight and stopped just before the land bridge - as the sign warned me I wouldnt be able to turn around if I continued forward.

I take it the bridge starts at the very VERY end of the road?

Okay, at Rice bridge drive straight across the junction and follow the river and the Foundary is on the right, but thats incidental. The thing to do is just drive on till the road peters out.

As for danger, its been along time since I was down there but obviously its beside a river and there is a drop!

Mike.

I travel it a fair but I cant figure where to go.. Is it near Abby Road direction? You have me lost

Might be best to not go on your own, especially if you plan on walking across some of the bridge

If you just want to see the gate and the old engine and old line is perfectly safe to be honest,

Ill be with a group of people. Id like to walk some of the bridge if possible..
