Beschreibung:
Brian Mac Aongusa has lived all his life in south County Dublin and has been keenly interested in railway policy and operation since he first joined the Irish Railway Record Society in 1949. Educated at Colaiste Mhuire and University College Dublin, he pursued a public service career for over forty years in the Department of Finance and RTE, becoming Controller of Programmes, RTE Radio 1 in 1983. He became the first Chief Executive of Gael-Linn in 1988, a position he held until his retirement in 1996.
The Harcourt Street line in south Dublin is once again carring passengers, after being closed for 46 years. This celebration of the new Luas line carries the reader from the shining new trams and plans for future developments back in time to the days of steam engines. The eight kilometres from Harcourt Street to Sandyford are conveyed in colourful and charming detail, with text and photographs in wonderful complement. The bridge at Dundrum, the sale of the old Harcourt Street station, passengers Behan and Myles na Gopaleen, crashes, attempted murder, and old steam engines, all me for attention in this beautiful memento.
