Sarasota county transfer station Videos

nice video at cromer yard?

well done and beautiful scenery

I can't see any railways! Were they removed or covered in the grass?

Nice one! That first shot is literally about a mile from a house my uncle has up in Donegal. :)

Very interesting.

Sad to see , but some great countryside you have over there , thanks for the tour 

Such a shame. When you look at these old places you can't help but wonder the stories behind it. How busy these places were and to see an old platform like this one in the video desolate and in ruins or the old bridges with the spans gone makes you think 

Nicely shot, as usual. A sad reflection on what was once a great railway system, no more than the line that used to connect Sligo to Enniskillen. Indeed I am from Ballinamore in Co. Leitrim and we own an old CIE house that used to be a water filling tower for steam trains heading from Ballinamore to the coalmines in Arigna. It seems such a shame to see them lost in time, now. There was talk of a feasibility study to see if a Sligo to Donegal line could be opened but it never got off the ground. The main problem being is that a new bridge would be required over the River Garavogue to allow for it, plus there is limited space on the far side of the river because there are two housing estates on either side of the main road to Donegal/North Sligo now. Of course, there is a question of whether there would be the passenger traffic to pay for it. Recent experiences with the Galway to Limerick line have left Iarnród Éireann with burned fingers because so few paying (non-pensioner/disabled tickets holders) are actually using it. It's quicker to go by bus. And the fact the train has to go into Limerick and reverse back out. They should of created a triangle outside Limerick to go straight to Limerick Junction for connections to the south. It can take up to 90mins longer to go by train to Cork from Galway than it would take on the fastest bus (3hrs 05mins by bus). Their greatest mistake was not introducing an express train to Limerick instead of the current situation of stopping at half arsed villages with no passenger numbers. Much like the Beeching Report by British Rail in the 60's which saw almost a third of the UK network close down, CIE did a similar report and hey presto we end up with the network we have now. Highly used in some areas and poorly used elsewhere and very little priority going north to south. Everything is east to west, with Belfast > Wexford line being the only real exception and the line from Galway to Limerick.

Fascinating footage Seán, very well put together! Never thought so many feats of engineering existed in those parts.

Glad you got your first manual bin!!! Hope you could get some of that footage, was it by your house you said??? You got a lot of bottles to turn in/ I usually get about $90-$100, I go once a month, and the bottles are weighed, whhich is dumb.
