Railway pictures sought

I AM appealing for pictures of the long-closed Cork and Macroom District Railway, the 24.5-mile line which commenced at Albert Quay in 1866.

The terminus was later at Capwell and the line ran through Ballyphehane, Togher, Bishopstown, Curraheen, Ballincollig, Killumney, Crookstown, Dooniskey and Macroom prior to closure to passenger traffic in 1935. If anybody has pictures, I would be delighted to receive them and will return once copied. I intend to share the information with historical societies, and schools.
