Caherciveen, or sometimes spelt Cahirsiveen, was the second last station on the former scenic Farranfore to Valentia Harbour branch in Co.Kerry. Cahersiveen is a small town and the majority of branchline services terminated there, with only a limited number of trains continuing the last few miles to the harbour opposite Valentia Island. All station buildings at Caherciveen have been demolished since closure in 1961, but a small railway corrugated iron shed used by local merchants still stands at the site of the levelcrossing off one of the roads in the town. A long viaduct just north of the station site remains crossing the wide estuary. Former C Class Metro-vick, C227 was moved here as a static exhibit and numbered C202 and given 1950s silver livery, as the C class locos were the last engines to work on the branch. Sadly, 227 was heavily vandalised and had to moved from the site at Caherciveen, and now lies in an abandoned yard in Waterford with an uncertain future. These pictures are taken just after the loco had been placed at Caherciveen.
