Additional earlier stations?

[edit]

Special:Diff/156357187 mentioned two format additional stations in Mullingar: while this unsourced content wsa removed was it actually true and can it be source? (I might have the answer near me but temporily mislaid) but this is a reminder. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:23, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Before I distract myself Mullingar is of course mentioned multiple times in (Shepherd, 2008) that I have now located. In particular p.103 describes the stations in prose and confirms Newbrook 51m 40ch from the Broadstone ... I haven't deliver later. In terms of uncited RPSI stuff currently on the article page e.g. [1] & [2] (primary), RPSI base at geo.ie RPSI base (photo), [3] & [4] give some background. The turnable is at {Circa}} 53°31′16″N 7°21′03″W / 53.5210°N 7.3509°W / 53.5210; -7.3509; here in 1992 at 1m 30s. Djm-leighpark (talk) 11:09, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RPSI base and tracks

[edit]

Its unclear to me if tracks still reach the (former?/current?) RPSI base and associated turntable (which is important for the running of the tender engines and possibly single 121's); albeit the latter would probably be paired with another GM to avoid no-cab first issues. The map_frame (just added) shows no tracks, the google maps shows what probably look like overgrown tracks. (NB: RPSI member due to COI don't really wish to delve to heavily here wrt RPSI unless to correct facts.) Thankyou. 03:41, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Opening date of this station

[edit]

This particular station was opened in 1857, there was one near the dogs that was from 1848. Can someone with resources please resolve.
