“Last days of the Irish narrow gauge – through the lens of David Soggee” by Joe Begley. Talk followed by AGM

David Soggee was a much travelled enthusiast with renowned camera skills. A vast collection of his colour slides bequeathed to the IRRS show a preference for branch lines and smaller railways. On three visits to Ireland in 1959 and 1960, he travelled on the last three remaining Irish narrow gauge railways, the C&L, CDRJC and West Clare lines. Joe Begley shows images from these visits which present a vivid snapshot of these lines as they moved towards the end of their working lives.
