Railway Stations C » Carrick-on-Suir

Carrick-on-Suir, located on the cross country line between Waterford and Limerick, which only has a limited passenger service. The line is still controlled by semaphore signals, the the signal cabin stands on the down side. The single storey station building is one of the few on the line and is unstaffed, all the others are normally larger and have two storeys. At the Limerick end of the station is a goods shed, now used as the IRISH TRACTION GROUP's southern based, where locos CIE C Class Metro-Vick 226, Sulzer Engine B Class 103 and G Class loco 601, are currenlty stored and under restoration by the ITG.

These pictures firstly show an earlier visit to film the loco hauled service to Rosslare, then a 141 loco and a cravens coach and generator van, nowadays the trains are operated by railcars. And then on the ITG Docklands tour, where 121 Class locos 124+134 were passing on the cement train to Waterford.
