I am a driver with Irish Rail and I learned the road with Mick he was a gent. the day before he passed away we crossed in Cork with the Ammonia trains and that was the last I saw of him until I heard the sad news the next morning. There is photos of him on my facebook page and I one photo of Dan as well. Hope you are all well Tom Ryan.
that's a great video RYNT1157. The driver at the start of the clip is my father Mick Cronin. I was wondering if you would have any more "action" shots of him or his brother Donie (Dan) Cronin. Very much appreciated
I remember the train going through the city. Why the hell did they dig up the Cork/Bandon line and jam the place with cars and crap. Ireland really went backwards in the last 40 years and now look at the cost of a simple thing like motoring!!! Sickening!
A beautiful piece of Cork Railway history and the commentary including the staff names is very well done. Thank you very much for sharing this lovely film.

Wow, this is one hell of a find. Can I ask, were you a CIE man yourself?
