GNRI 201 1954-06-12 Dundalk Crossing
The last class of inside-cylindered 4-4-0s to be built in the world were five of these George Glover 'U' class built for the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) by Beyer Peacock in 1948. A further five had been built in 1915 - 33 years earlier! In its splendid blue livery, No. 201 'Meath' is doing a spell of freight van shunting in June 1954 at Dundalk Crossing, Co. Louth, Eire. It was withdrawn in 1965 as UTA No. 66.
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!
