On 3 April 2002, I traveled from Dublin to County Wexford on the morning train.
My friend and fellow railroad photographer, Hassard Stacpoole, and I were headed to Wexford town to intercept one of the last bag cement trains that was being unloaded there.
Once common, by mid-2002 Irish Rail’s bag cement runs were on the wain.
At Wicklow, our train paused in the loop to cross an up passenger train on the Dublin & Southeastern route.
When our train paused at Wicklow Station made this view of a lattice-mast semaphore, which at the time was still in use to protect train movements.
