Train pulls out of station after 50 years

THE last train of its kind in the world was moved for the first time in 50 years yesterday.

Locomotive Number 36, the historic Great Southern and Western Railway locomotive on display in Cork’s Kent Station since 1950, was moved into temporary storage to ensure its safety during the e4 million revamp of the railway station.

It will be reinstated behind a glass curtain wall close to its former location when the revamp is completed in April.
