Tuam County Galway Ireland 21st April 2016

The beautiful cast iron spandrels of the columns supporting Tuam station's platform roofing also support a blackbird.

The station was originally opened in 1860 as part of the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (later Great Southern & Western Railway) route between Limerick and Sligo. It was closed, along with the whole route, in 1976 during Córas Iompair Éireann's rationalisation of the rail network.

Beautifully elegant and ornate and I like the blackbird. Sad that places like this are closed. It woudl be nice to see it used again, even if not as a working station. Details like this deserve to be preserved. Stay safe and well
