Great video of Moate Station. takes me back to when I was a young boy and memory's of my Late father working on the Moate to Athlone line ...I was in the signal box with the Late Tommy watt ...on a vist with my Late mother to pick up my dad's wages....
@@bannis27 I have wrote a song about Irish rail and I mention alot of the stuff featured in this video, if I was to make a music video could I use this footage?
The part of the Railway line that's not make into greenway should be reopened of course to stop car accidents/road deaths, pollution and traffic jams they need the money we need extra public transport no less.
Very nice job. But the video of the steam engine starting at 0:20 shows an American engine. This surely has no connection to Moate. All Irish steam engines were of British origin.
No, not at all. Belfast, Dundalk, Grand Canal Street and other places built from new, but overall, the vast majority of Irish built locomotives were built in Inchicore Works in Dublin, as were matching carriages and wagons. Even in the very early days, Grendon in Drogheda was a locomotive builder. You're right about the American loco at the start of the clip, though.
