In mid-October, I traveled the length of the old Dublin and Kingstown route to meet with my friends in Dun Laoghaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dublin and Kingstown Railway was opened in 1834 between Westland Row (today Pearse Station) and the harbour in Kingstown (now called Dun Laoghaire). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the first railway in Ireland and often claimed as the world’s first suburban railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, this route is operated as a portion of Irish Rail’s Dublin Area Rapid Transit electric service and hosts InterCity services to\/from Rosslare Europort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had excellent autumn sun for my spin to Dun Laoghaire and stopped off at a couple of stations to make photos using my Nikon Z6 digital camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
