Does anyone know if there is a site to explore Workers on Irish railways? Especially in Waterford area.

Hiya Anjo,

Have you seen the records of the Irish railway workers? The Irish Railway Record Society have regular meetings in Dublin, Cork and London of film shows, lectures and slide shows. The Society have their Headquarters, Library, Archives and Small Exhibits Museum at IRRS Roons, Heuston Station, Dublin 8 (in the former Goods Offices). The library is open on Tuesdays 20.00 - 22.00 (Sept to June incl). Christmas and Easter periods - the library is not open. Most of their meetings would be about the trains but railway enthusiasts tend to have excellent contacts and usually know somebody who knows somebody who just might be an expert in the family history of railway workers. Old codgers love to go out for the day on stream train excursions and are happy to relate anecdotes of the guys who worked at little stations along the route.  http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Irish+Railway+Record+Society&meta=

All the Best, Chris
