GNRI 191 1950s Belfast Adelaide
The lovely sky blue livery of the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) is slightly faded on George Glover 'S2' class 4-4-0 No. 191 'Croagh Patrick'. Nonetheless it makes a fine sight at Belfast's Adelaide MPD in the 1950s. It was built by Beyr Peacock in 1915 and withdrawn in 1960. Incidentally, 'Croagh Patrick' was named after a mountain of 2,507 feet in County Mayo. So now you know!
n.b. Apologies for any errors in this description. Irish railways are not my strong point but I have tried to provide correct details where known!
