The first of what is hoped will be a series covering all the provinces of Ireland, this volume explores in traditional ‘past and present’ style the railways of Dublin and its suburbs, including the celebrated DART system; the coastal lines north to Dundalk and south to Wexford, Rosslare and Waterford; radiating main lines from Dublin south-westward towards Cork, west to Athlone, and north-west towards Sligo; and the many rural branch lines in this large area of Ireland.
Michael Baker is an acknowledged expert on the railways of Ireland, and has already written two ‘Irish Railways Past and Present’ volumes for the Nostalgia Collection.
