Rare opportunity to own a piece of Ireland's railway history. This photograph features the iconic CIE 0-6-0 No. 712 on the Irish Railway, taken in the early 20th century. Measuring just over two feet tall, this steam locomotive was one of several built by the Cambridge and Peterborough Railway Company.
The image captures the locomotive's distinctive curved steam chest and robust frame, alongside its signature black and gold liveries. The train itself is depicted as a typical Irish railway haulage, with goods wagons and a coach attached to the front.
The photograph was likely taken for use on a railway advertisement or promotional material, providing an authentic glimpse into the daily lives of the people who worked with the trains. Its rarity makes this image highly sought after by collectors and railway enthusiasts alike. This photograph is in excellent condition, with minimal signs of wear or damage.
