Download or read book Lost Railways of Co Dublin and the South East written by Stephen Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dublin was an early target for railway development; in fact it boasted the world's second passenger railway (and the first to serve a capital city) which opened in 1834 between Dublin and Kingstown. This was swiftly followed by railway expansion throughout Ireland. In the south east it was the Dublin & South Eastern and the Great Southern & Western Railways that dominated. By 1925 they had amalgamated to become Great Southern Railways, but soon after there followed a period of fluctuating fortunes due to war and fuel shortages. In the 1950s competition from road transport led to drastic cost-cutting measures. Unlike the railways in Britain however, the region has enjoyed a revival since the 1980s with line electrifications and development of a modern tramway within the capital; as at date of publication there is now even an underground system being considered for the city. The whole history of the region's railways is told here in detail accompanied by a collection of 52 photographs. Locations featured include stations at Dun Laoghaire, Rosslare, Shankhill, Templeogue, the Guinness Brewery, Broadstone, Dublin Harcourt Street, Terenure, Embankment, Blessington, Poulaphouca, Sutton, Hill of Howth, Liffey Junction, Carbury, Edenderry, Tullow, Abbeyleix, Kilkenny, Mountmellick, Woodenbridge Junction, Shillelagh, Goresbridge, Borris, Ballywilliam, Palace East, Macmine Junction, Rathgarogue, Glenmore, Kilmeadan, Durrow, Dungarvan, Ballyduff, Waterford Manor, Waterford, Tramore, and Avoca.
