A Railway Atlas of Ireland.

Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1974. xxxi, 39 pages. Maps. Hardback.
“This Atlas presents in an accessible form all the salient facts about the history of the Irish railway network. A general introduction chronicles the rise and decline of the Irish railway system, and explains the effect of political and social forces on the railways. Forty pages of maps—at a scale of a quarter of an inch to one mile—together with notes on each railway incorporate a mass of detailed information. This includes the opening and closing dates of all railways, whether they are single or double track, changes of gauge, original and subsequent ownership; tramways and mineral lines are also shown. Full technical specifications are given so that, by using the maps, the complete history of any line can be traced. The maps used show the railway system of Ireland as it stood in 1925, just prior to the Irish grouping.
An index and gazetteer are keyed to the maps, and help to make this atlas a valuable reference tool for the railway enthusiast, the social historian and the historical geographer.”
