New year, new photos from the Irish Railway Record Society (IRRS)! Following on from our last gallery of images, we’re delighted to share this collection of rare photographs of the Siemens-Bauunion train which ran directly to Ardnacrusha station in the 1920s.

With sincere thanks to Ciarán Cooney, volunteer archivist at the Irish Railway Record Society, for sharing these images with us. All images courtesy and © Irish Railway Record Society. For more on the IRRS, check out irrs.ie.
