Orignally Produced by Tom Ferris and directed by Wilf Waters for Midland Publishing/Online video in the 1990s, this series of 9 documentaries (of which this is the 6th) is likely one of the most comprehensive looks into the railways of Ireland from the 1930s all the way up to the late 1960s. Please enjoy looking at the railways of this country as they once were, both on the extensive standard guage network and the vast narrow gauge network that covered the near entirety of Ireland.

Wow, this was a special look of something us Americans dont have.

Hi watching all your videos they are all superb the best videos I've ever seen on Irish Railways. Thank you for sharing Gerry Conmy
Thank you for the compliment.
Indeed, these documentaries are likely the most comprehensive look into Irish Railways back during the days of steam and early days of diesel traction to have ever been made.
