Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As in Great Britain, the period from the mid-1950s onwards saw considerable changes to the railways of Ireland with contraction seeing, for example, the demise of the final narrow gauge lines and the complexities of the division of the Ireland leading to the closure of the bulk of the erstwhile GNR(I) network. It was also a period that witnessed the final elimination of main line steam in both the Republic and Northern Ireland, although the latter retained steam for longer than the rest of the United Kingdom, as diesel traction was introduced. Initially many of the new locomotives and diesel-units delivered for use on Ireland's network were built in Britain but increasingly overseas manufacturers, most notably General Motors, came to dominate, particularly with CIE. In this title Derek Huntriss reflects the changes in Irish traction between the mid-1950s and the early 1980s, encompassing the last steam operations and the career of the first generation of Irish diesel locomotives. During these years Ireland acted as a magnet for many of the leading railway photographers from Britain and the book draws upon these collections to provide images covering railways in both the Republic and Northern Ireland.

Book excerpt: The first passenger railway in Ireland, the Dublin & Kingstown, opened for business in 1834. From modest beginnings, the railway network expanded over the next 70 years into almost every part of the country. At its greatest extent, the national network consisted of just under 3,500 route miles of track. This era of expansion was followed by an equally long period of decline which was sparked by the partition of the country, the inexorable rise of the internal combustion engine and the economic problems of the interwar years. It was only towards the end of the twentieth century that the fortunes of the railways at last began to recover. Irish Railways, written by one of the leading historians of Ireland's railways, provides many insights into the social and economic effects of the railways. This is a story rich in human interest, a tale of triumph and tragedy, superb achievement and monumental incompetence, which will appeal to all who have even a passing interest in this most romantic of human inventions.
