Publisher's Synopsis
John Armstrong takes us on a railway journey from Kingsbridge Station in Dublin to Waterford and beyond, using Edwardian postcards to illustrate the many towns, villages and topographical features that the traveller would have viewed through the train window or disembarked to explore at a more leisurely pace. The modern reader is given an insight into the world of 19th-century railway travellers as they traversed the Irish countryside, using a new and efficient transport system that opened up the country in new ways. This illustrated guide records the sights and scenes the traveller may have encountered.
