The West Cork Railways DVD

The West Cork Railways

Brian Baker

The material for this video, all colour - cine and still - was shot over the years 1958, 1959 & 1961 and is not sufficent to form a full and historical account of a system that emerged from the Cork & Bandon Railway and the Cork, Bandon & South Coast Railway. Nevertheless, it was felt it could be of interest to people who knew the system and people with a general interest in Irish railways. The programme deliberately does not set out to be a source of reference but simply a shared record of a once proud railway system.

Brian's own railway interest stemmed from the fact his father spent his working life on the West Cork - apart from a short time in Charleville - and his final appointment was Station Master at Bandon.

This video is very much one railway lovers trip down memory lane with the people and places he knew since childhood.

Brian has edited and narrated the programme. After production and dustribution costs all profit is being donated to Railway Children. SInce its launch in 2008, the DVD has now raised over £8,000 for children alone and at risk on the streets worldwide.
