A YouTube video shows footage of an ‘A’ class locomotive running across the rail line on Wexford Quay. The footage was captured on 21 August 1989.
Here are a few stills from the video:
The townside entrance of Wexford Bridge. The image shows how narrow Wexford Quay was before the woodenworks were removed and replaced with a modern waterfront plaza.
This image shows the area just before the old L&N car park, the entrance of which appears on the right. In 1995, L&N was acquired by Irish supermarket chain SuperValu.This image was taken just before the bridge that crosses Crescent Quay. A man takes a photograph of the train as it passes him. Behind him, an old blue bench is visible, which was removed during the redevelopment of the quay front. A directional sign with the word “Snooker” written on it was erected beside the bench.The old Bank of Ireland building is visible on the right. To the left, a boy and his father walk along the woodenworks.
This image shows the bridge that crosses Crescent Quay. A wooden waterfront plaza now covers the area of water to the left, where the new tourism building is located.This image shows the south end of the quay, opposite T.K. Maxx and the large Stonebridge development on Paul Quay. This was before the apartments at Pierce Court were developed. The old black and white “Talbot Hotel” sign is visible in the background, and a red Shell sign stands to the centre-right. At the time, a petrol station occupied the corner of King Street and Wexford Quay.This image shows the old south-end station, which has since been demolished. To the left, a factory building housed Clover Meats, with the Wexford Electronix factory beside it. Both factories have since been demolished, leaving a mostly empty plot of land that juts out from the coastline.
