Légende

The Cork, Blackrock, and Passage Railway, Dundanion, [County Cork, Ireland], 1850. Steam locomotive on a narrow gauge railway in County Cork, Ireland, which opened in 1850. '...the carriages...were placed on the rails, and sent up and down the line until three o'clock, when a full freight of the directors and shareholders - as many as could be accommodated on both engine and tender - were taken down in 17 minutes and brought back in 10½, performing the run up and down quite to the satisfaction of all, and without the least possible oscillation or disagreeable motion...At Stop Island, the rail for the first time crosses the high road and mouth of the Douglas Channel, previous to entering the deep cutting at Blackrock, and shows the Douglas Channel. After passing through the cutting, the line again joins the water, and comes out at Dundanion...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
