Railway photographer Jim Edgar has put together in this book a collection of his photos of Irish railways between 1974 and 2008. Volume Two covers the South West of Ireland, mainly counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary. For all the changes we can see during the years covered by this book, some parts of the railway maintained the feel of a bygone era throughout the period. A wide range of passenger and goods trains feature, ranging from wooden bodied stock to modern air braked and air conditioned trains, and from loose coupled goods wagons to bogie liner freight trains.

Locos include the classes A (001), B (121 141,and 181), G and the second 201 class.

Lines covered include the Limerick to Foynes route, the “North Kerry” and “South Kerry” lines on either side of Tralee, Limerick to Waterford, the Cork Main line from Ballybrophy to Cork, Cork to Cobh and Cobh Junction to Youghal.

Includes a sketch map and a diagram of Limerick Junction.
