Railways in Ulster is a look at the Railways in Ulster through photographs. The introduction sets out the socio-economic situation in Ireland (and Ulster in particular)
into which railways fitted.
The number of photos of IH interest is very high, with most being of a landscape/topographical nature, rather than locomotives or rolling stock. Each photo is given a
brief explanation and a reference number of the photo in the collection that it was taken from.
Interesting photos include:
* Great Victoria Street marshalling yard
* Portadown Station (the adjacent photo is of Monaghan Station - the former is demolished, its near twin in Monaghan survives)
* Albert Basin, Newry
* Construction of the Keady Viaduct
* BNCR Inspection car, complete with worthies
* BNCR Inspection bike, complete with inspector and lackies
* Construction of the railway bridge at Stranorlar
