      hi there,firstly enjoyed the site.im searching for any known info/photos on the old dublin and blessington steam tram way building at phoulaphouca,county kildare.think it was built around 1880(slightly earlier than the phoulaphouca hotel,which i think is 1883) and was closed down in 1927(when the tramway shut)my interest in it is my great grandfather was the station master there in the 1920s and its also a lovley old building.its now been turned into a private residence.my dad emigrated to new zealand so we dodnt know much about it at all apart from a few bits and bobs ive discovered.i now live in england and hope to do some research on it in the summer.thanks.danny osborne(anything at all would be helpful)

      The Irish edition of the Sunday Times of 12th June 2005 featured it as it is for sale at the moment.
