LUAS Cross City Works, November 2016 Update—ten photos.

4 Comments

The other day, Mark Healy and I continued our review of Dublin’s LUAS Cross City construction.

Track laying is well advanced through the city centre, yet gaps remain. Beyond Broadstone on the old Midland Line, preparatory work is on-going, while a short section of double track in the cutting near the Cabra Road is now in place.

I made these photos using my Lumix LX7 set in ‘A’ mode, but with a + 1/3 exposure override to compensate for the white sky and keep the shadows from blocking up.

All the images presented are scaled Camera JPGs. I have not modified the files for exposure, contrast or color.

Yesterday, Mark Healy brought me on a walking tour of LUAS construction in Dublin’s north inner city.

We started at Marlborough Street and walked to Broadstone and Phibsborough.

I made these documentary views with my Lumix LX7.

When trams begin operation in a year or so, I plan to return for some comparison views.
