Summary edit

Description
English: While I love the O'Dea photos and think that he has done us and the history of Railways in Ireland an invaluable service recording the demise and vandalistic destruction of the railways not all his photos are that good! This shot however is crisp and clear and really, to my mind, first class. Continuing our love of steam driven vehicles here we have a steam traction engine in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. The environmentalists among us will be horrified at the "Tar - Bitumen" tank in the background and the 40 gallon drums to collect overspills but they were different times.
