Millstreet Railway Station 1976. A CIE 001 class locomotive stops at Millstreet with a Tralee bound passenger train. The railway line from Mallow to Tralee opened in stages between 1853 and 1859. Millstreet was a block post and the train driver can be seen exchanging the single line staff with the signalman – the staff gives permission for the train to enter the next block section on this single line. Millstreet had an unusually low island platform, which was seldom used. Photo taken on Monday, 12 July, 1976
