In the summer of 1998, Denis McCabe and I paid a visit to Wicklow Cabin on the Dublin & South Eastern route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with Ilford HP5 35mm film loaded in a Nikon, I exposed this photograph of the signalman working the old mechnical frame. I don’t recall his name, but he was friendly and enjoyed having his photo made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I processed the film in Ilford ID11, and many years later scanned the negatives using an Epson V600 flatbed scanner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over my many years photographing Irish Rail, I exposed hundreds of black & white photos in signal cabins to preserve on film these icons of antique signaling that were still in daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
