Automatic train protection system

Could you please explain why you insist on changing "(Republic of Ireland)" to "(Ireland)" in the above article? As if to 'educate', you have also made the Wikilink point to Names of the Irish state. To quote from that very article:

"The Republic of Ireland is generally used in any context in which it is necessary to distinguish between the state and the island of Ireland as a whole."

The above certainly applies in this case. It is necessary to make clear that ATP & CAWS are only used on railways in the Republic of Ireland, and not Northern Ireland. Signalhead 19:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:1989intercitylogo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:1989intercitylogo.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

BART cleanup

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I changed back a lot of the spelling "corrections" you made because they weren't... well... correct for American English, as the article is about an American subway system. I do appreciate, however, lots of the little random ones you fixed, like "Fransisco". Cheers --Matt 22:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dundrum

Thanks for fixing the bus routes to and fro Dundrum. You were quick off the mark, fair play. Are you just doing all the stops on the Luas or do you have an interest in South Dublin as well? Are you putting on more info on the shopping center seeing as its such a massive change to the town?

(Newbie, ex Balally resident, still go home enough though to warrant putting my oar in, imho :) July 1st 2007 23:28)

Don't use the bus much anymore, but I do remember having a bigger selection of routes than originally listed. Don't intend to add anything on the new S.C., being more interested in older stuff myself. Suckindiesel 23:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History of rail transport in Ireland

Do you know if this edit to History of rail transport in Ireland is correct? I don't know but it looks wrong to me. Thanks ww2censor 23:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely broad gauge (5-ft 3-in) The 1906 map shows the W&T as broad gauge. Only the narrow gauges are defined in the list, all others are assumed to be broad gauge by default. Therefore no need to include the W&T's gauge in list. Take a look at Image:Train at Bath Street.JPG which looks broad gauge to me.

Fair use rationale for Image:GSWRLogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GSWRLogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. PxMa 19:44, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dun Laoghaire railway station

Hi. If you have a chance, can you find a source for the opening of the new station building at Dun Laoghaire railway station?

I went with the mid-1840's, per the source I was working from, but you went with 1854, which actually I think is right, but I can't find a source. (One of these things: I know I saw something recently that said the 1850's rather than 1840's, but I don't know where :O) )

Cheers. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 21:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. It dawned on me that I had seen the date online, so it was a quick Google search away. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 21:46, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thats exactly the same source I used. I've actually seen 1844 quoted on some restaurant guide site but archiseek looks solid. Suckindiesel 22:53, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Yup. It has the detail of the building of the station being delayed for two decades after it was designed, which is (AFAIK) right. Actually I think the architect, John Skipton Mulvany, might be overdue for an article himself. Even dealing with railway stations, apart from a couple of stations on that line, he designed Galway railway station, Sligo railway station and of course Broadstone amongst others. Not bad going. Might give it a shot someday, although I don't really have enough for more than a stub at the moment. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:46, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading Image:Lavabo of Mellifont Abbey, 1902.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Malahide Abbey 1820.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Malahide Abbey 1820.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Bray-Enniskerry Railway

Hi Mr Diesel, Spotted this great pic - I've often seen that "tunnel" and wondered what it was. Never guessed it was part of a railway. Where did the railway run? Under or over the bridge? - and what part did the tower on the right-hand side of the road play in the scheme of things? Sarah777 (talk) 00:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't until I read a review of: "THE BRAY AND ENNISKERRY RAILWAY, Liam Clare, Nonsuch Publishing, 73 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin 2. ISBN 978 184588 5939" that I realised what the bridge was for.
Apparently it was built to carry the failed 19th century proposed Bray-Enniskerry Rly over Dublin Corporation's Vartry watermain directly opposite the ornate bridge carrying the watermain over the Cookstown River. The watermain runs from left to right, i.e. under the bridge & road & over the river, you can still see the old Corpo logo on the side of the pipe.
According to the author, the raised bank on the LHS of picture is the railway embankment, partly lost to road widening. Had a look at this bit myself, but couldn't see any remains.
He also claims, I think, that the reason the area around the Honda garage at the N11 end is so high above N11 level was to accomodate a tunnel. Suckindiesel (talk) 16:15, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dublin tramways

I've grown tired of the BS and am going to try resolve some of the open issue about Dublin's trams .If you are around to help I would appreciate your assistance again .

Thanks Gnevin (talk) 22:01, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've returned to your old favourite, the Dublin tram system. Of course, the Brewery system differs in being industrial rather than public tramsport, but does merit inclusion. See [1] for list of engines. The broadgauge wasn't confined to the brewery premises either, it went up the road at the side of Heuston Station and turned into the goods yard through a wide gate, which still exists. This section with train actually features in an old 1965 Fu Manchu movie. I'm certain that I've seen a website devoted to the topic, which contained many official photos from the Guinness archive, but couldn't locate it tonight. There is also a chapter devoted to it in a Guinness publication of a few years ago, I'll try to borrow a copy of this book. Suckindiesel (talk) 00:50, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citation still needed

You removed my citation needed tag from Resistor without citing a source for the strange "SI Notation" that you say is used; so I reverted that. Please cite a source, of if you don't know how and need help, tell me your source and I'll help you. You can reply here. Dicklyon (talk) 19:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, misunderstood, thought you were objecting to the use of word "kilo", which I changed to "thousand". Re claim of "SI Notation", don't know if it is, its not my edit. However, this is a longstanding BS 1852 recommendation. The substition of the decimal point by the multiplier (R=1 or decimal point; K=1,000; M=1,000,000) reduces the chances of misreading drawings, parts lists etc. Suckindiesel (talk) 22:54, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boherlahan is north of Cashel on the R660 & Dualla north-east of Cashel on the R691. Being 5-miles apart, ther're obviousely not the same place & it appears that Boherlahan should not link to Dualla. Suckindiesel (talk) 15:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File:Thomastown Castle, the seat of the Earl of Landaff, Co. of Tipperary.jpg

Hi Suckindiesel, today I transfered this file to Wikimedia Commons which was uploaded by you to en-wp. You provided following reference in its source field:

The Beauties of Ireland, Vol 1 . Published: Paternoster Row London, Sherwood, Jones & Co

The referenced work is available at archive.org. I failed, however, to locate this print within that book. As it seems, volume 1 covers Leinster only and the depicted castle is from County Tipperary. Could you please fix the bibliographic reference? Thanks and kind regards, AFBorchert (talk) 11:55, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have meanwhile found the plate at Google books. Interestingly, these plates are not included in the copy at archive.org. --AFBorchert (talk) 12:57, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image of Nine Arches Viaduct

Hi there,

Your image of the the nine arches viaduct with luas crossing is a great shot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bridge,_Nine_Arches.jpg).

I would really like to use this image in a heritage brochure publication which is due to go to press this monday (11.10.10) to demonstrate effectively the re-use/regeneration of an historic site and illustrate integration of past and present.

Just wondering firstly if you might be able to forward me a higher resolution copy of this image and secondly I would very much like to acknowledge your full name in the acknowledgements. Could you let me know your name for the credits and if you would like a copy of the finalised brochure let me know.

Kind regards,

Freya —Preceding unsigned comment added by FreyaClareSmith (talk • contribs) 00:01, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please use image freely, unfortunately, this is the full resolution, taken with an old 2 meg camera. Suckindiesel (talk) 17:37, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RE: IMAGE OF NINE ARCHES VIADUCT

Great thanks and thanks also for posting a reply so promptly. I really appreciate it.

I would really like to credit your name on the Brochure rather than a pseudo name.

So please do email me re the above and I can explain further if you like - I think its possible to email me on my user page (FreyaClareSmith).

Best regards

Freya

File:Vulture of dartry hall.jpg

Hi Suckindiesel, a non-free media use rationale is not required for this file as it is PD (in the United States due to its early publication and also in Ireland as the artist died more than 70 years ago). I've added author and first publication to the file but I'm not familiar with the correct copyright tags at en-wp. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 11:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps {{PD-US-1923}} & {{PD-Ireland}}? Suckindiesel (talk) 16:13, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've fixed it and now moved to Commons. But as the resolution is quite low and the caricature somewhat cropped (at the bottom), I'm inclined to rescan this caricature from the book I've cited. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 21:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Martello towers

Did you get a copy of The Martello Towers of Dublin from which you are making improvements to the Martello tower listings for Ireland? If so you should really be using inline citation templates as sources for the details added. I might ask my son to get me one for Christmas as I am in the US now and will be in France later on so won't have a chance to buy it until next year sometime. Are you really sure there is no tower on Lambay Island? I always thought there was one there. The last time I was close to it I was puking my guts up sailing out from Howth on a very stormy Saturday about 30 years ago during the Howth Regatta.

No, not from that publication, but from sites such as: Fingal[2], the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage[3] and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council Public Library Service southside Martello map reproduced here[4] Didn't see any mention of a Lambay location in the Fingal northside map, which also includes good data on other Irish locations and a world-wide overview, so deleted Lambay.--Suckindiesel (talk) 13:43, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this?

Your probably one of the best in identifying stuff. Found [this photo while passing looking for something else. I "feel" passenger train steaming out of Dublin is incorrect. Any thoughts? Thanks. Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:36, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're overestimating my abilities. This one has me stumped. Looks like a tank engine, remininiscient of a D&SE Class G1, but not identical. Certainly suburban, not mainline, service, so perhaps Westland Row? Suckindiesel (talk) 12:53, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for delay replying. I've been serving my time at Mountjoy. I will confess I had briefly thought Cork Albert ~~Street~~Quay before asking this question; but I would have perhaps expected some rolling stock behind the platform if that was the case. I don't think any dublin terminus I can think of. I dont think Bray or Howth either. I had surmised Waterford. Your suggestion of the the G1 I dismissed as that was a 2-4-0T and this is a 4-4-0T. Checking 4-4-0T the Cork and Bandon was a possible. There are some livery simularities with The picture of No. 7 on P.25 (the only loco "constructed" at Rocksavage shows livery simularities with our engine, but destinct detail differences. Steam locomotives of Ireland shows CB&SCR nos. 3, 9, 10, 18 as 4-4-0T's (some later converted to 4-4-2) ... and Redrose and I briefly touched that subject recent. My CB&SCR book is currently mislaid and I have located a photo of those locos, at least yet. I'm also look at if the CB&PR and noted the map at - interruption - [5] p.13 seems a snap? Just noticed a an Innisfallen at P.26 the map I was looking for is on [6]] P.3that shows a siding snaking toward the CB&PR which is a subject of my discussion currently. Back to Subject ... (sorry for getting excited but I need to note references before I lose them) ... if the station is Cork Albert the engine would be departing away from Dublin completely destroying the associated commentary and has the photograph been touched up a little? Great for the Marys to bring up but its not their collection! Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:49, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Felt confident enough to load to C:File:CBSCR 440T at Albert Quay 1890s irelandinpicture00fine Finetry p305.jpg. One explanation (bit oturageous): Photographer tendered off of their liner form the USA moored off of Queenstown/Cobh and told mainline station for Dublin was near the Summerhill termius. Unfortunately the ship's tender could have taken them to Passage, then into Cork Albert Street. Compared to that Cork Albert Quay would have seemed a big station. This might have only worked 1892/1893. Of course they simply could have the victim of some misinformation craic. The suggestion to look at the loco. was really very helpful. Thankyuo. 20:53, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Doesn't look that great a match to Albert Quay. See 25" OSI map of 1899 [[7]] which does show two roads and two platforms, but buildings behind are differentSuckindiesel (talk) 14:53, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not having the greatest of luck with that link ... my first move in orienteering was generally to move off the map and wonder why I was lost! The site is however providing information for the "Battle of Spencer Dock" as this seems to show "Royal Canal Docks" . (My attempts to share a link have sterted ended up p[ointing at Tuam ... the Rocky Road to Dublin via Mullingar and then on the Royal Canal). Back to the Albert Quay question: [8] seems a great match for the locomotive (albeit built to a 4-4-2T from 4-4-0T), and c:File:Cork, Albert Quay station; Cork, Bandon & South Coast Railway, 1948 (geograph 5307072).jpg seems a great match for the station shed at C:File:CBSCR 440T at Albert Quay 1890s irelandinpicture00fine Finetry p305.jpg. The general height of the hill in the background seems right. But the background behind the far platform seems "wrong" ... Yes the building looks right for one of the buildings, but I'm not convinced there were that many of them. And I'm expecting siding(s) beyond the far platform ... I wouldn't expect to see the tracks but I'd expect some evidence of something ... its just too clean! I am reasonably sure the image has been touched up to suit the publication of the book. Given the nature of words of the description I would not put that as far from impossible. But your challenge is reasonable! A real job for the Marys and the NLI this! Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:29, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm loosing the plot here, but that Finetry shot shows three lines emerging from the station shed compared with the two lines of the 1948 shot. However, wasn't that line narrow gauge until 1902? which may explain how two roads replaced three roads. Does it look 3-ft in the older photo?

If 3-ft, then there can't be many narrow gauge tank engines of that configuration.

Suckindiesel (talk) 23:21, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

THE CB&SCR was Albert Quay station was always 5' 3". The Cork and Passage Railway )Albert Street) was the one that got narrowed about 1900. There was always 3 road at Cork Albert Quay as far as I am aware. The CB&SCR & C&PR while close were probably briefly connected circa 1870s (via a siding). The CMDR & CB&SCR had various most public dalliances of connection and divorce. Colm Creedon's collection has some more infomration: [9] & [10].. Actually [11] on approx P.12 seems to show a 2 road layput for Albert Quay introudced in the Diesel error. I think I'm sort of right but I do make bloopers and am not trying to confused you - mind you anything with cork railways probably would. I'll own up I've never been to Cork.

I've found one ref to a 4-4-0T of perhaps the correct era in Boocock's Loco Compendium, p43. The CB&SCR rebuilt a 4-4-0T supplied by Dubs in 1893 into a 4-6-0T, the first of the class B4 (GSR '463') Cab design, anyway, looks very similar. Suckindiesel (talk) 23:52, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Getting my Alberts mixed up, I'm afraid. On looking at that 1899 map again [[12]] I see that Albert Quay had three lines running into the terminus building with four coal sheds alongside the terminus. The first two were large, the third was smaller and the fourth was out of shot in your photo. Seems a good match to me. Those coal sheds could have easily been gone before 1948.

Would also tie in with that Boocock ref which would have been a one-off and unclassified, A rare beast.

Here's a link to the later version [[13]] Suckindiesel (talk) 00:36, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
