Scope and content
A view of a Great Southern Railways' (GSR) steam locomotive transiting the Irish countryside in about 1940. It is likely that that the locomotive shown in the photograph is ‘Maeḋḃ’ (Anglicised: ‘Maeve’), one of three steam trains designed and built from 1939-40 principally for passenger work on the Dublin to Cork route.
