    A blast from the past - or it could have been if it were a real train!

    An excerpt from the unwatchable "Remington Steele" (1984) TV series.

    Fast forward to 25.08 for a brief interlude of Irish railway madness!

    Came across this interesting item today. If memory serves, the original owner of these shares was the English solicitor who had a major involvement with the Bagenalstown/Palace East line. It may be of interest to railway historians but you need to move quickly as it selling on the 6/5/2019 and already has a bid of €150 on it.

    Last weekend I did a photographic survey of the remnants of the Dublin & Blessington Tramway (closed as long ago as 1932), making use of archive pictures and maps for each location. The full feature is now viewable here:

    Hope it is of interest.

    Old BR film, an interesting reminder that some of the technology (strain gauges) we think of as modern has been around for quite a long time.

    Not directly railway related but an interesting poster from a time when CIE's Furniture Removals Division was the gold standard. No artist indicated.

    Due to road freight competition basically being illegal, rather than providing a good service.

    Furniture removal was exempt from such laws.

    There were lots of private furniture removal operators. The best around DunLaoghaire was GA Stevens, as George was a cabinet maker, so understood how to carefully handle furniture and fix it in case of mishap.

    Not to mention Nat Ross in Cork.

    Thanks for posting. Brought back memories of a great day out and one of the best railtours that I was fortunate enough to travel on. Two passenger trains on the line in one day - the first time since closure in 1967.

    Spotted the good "DH" on there but not you DM.

    Look at the enthusiasm of a certain CIE manager/IRRS official on the closure special, maybe a little bit more enthusiasm towards running a railway/ keeping things open might have more in his line.....:mad:

    Going by the Toronto Transit Commission being mentioned in the first 30 seconds, that's a definite yes.

    I take it what they call light rail is a lot closer to an S-Bahn than a Luas?

    I think so. S- Bahn from german means StadtschnellBahn which roughly means city fast/quick railway.

    It's just another underground rail system, like the tube in London.

    Nah, tube would be a U-bahn, an S-bahn is more like Crossrail

    I was doing a bit of spring cleaning today and discovered this thing.

    I think I bought it in Bray and it was used over the 8-day period as a valid Rambler ticket despite having only one hole punched in it. There can't be many of these about.

    My first rambler in 1968 was thread reinforced card, by the end of the 8 days, over- enthusiastic checkers had punched it to shreds.
