| In the early 1950s the railways operated by Córas lompair Éireann (CIÉ) in the Republic of Ireland had the appearance and atmosphere of a working museum. That of course, was part of the undoubted charm which attracted many railway enthusiasts. In this book, the first in a new Colourpoint series showcasing the work of photographers of Irish railways, Tony Burges takes us on a trip around the CIÉ network, using photographs taken during his visits in 1953 and 1957. He visited many parts and captured CIÉ operations at locations such as Rosslare, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Tralee, Dromod, Portarlington and Dublin. He photographed not only the rolling stock but also the stations, many of which have long since disappeared or been converted to other uses. Contents
