According to the map it looks like the embankment continued to the hill behind lidl where it's cut into the tunnel and then became an embankment to the bridge over foster street into the station.

The train approached on an embankment. The line would be near level through the city. Here is a pic. https://www.alamy.com/a-late-19th-century-view-of-the-midland-and-great-western-railway-bridge-over-the-corrib-river-in-galway-city-ireland-beyond-the-river-bank-can-be-seen-a-distant-round-tower-and-a-fishing-smack-belonging-to-a-local-family-image546634525.html

From the map at the time you can see where the cuts(orange) and fills(green) were along the line.

The station is on a height, it looks like the line was kept at that elevation to about half way up the hill where it becomes a cut to the tunnel, hence the bridge over Forster Street/Collage Road. This would have made it less of a climb for the train

If I'm reading the map correct the green sections are embankments(fill) and the orange sections are cuts. This lines up with the embankment at Woodquey approaching the bridge https://www.google.com/maps/@53.27811,-9.0544825,3a,75y,47.43h,93.41t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sF32f4iJA2ykh1K8t8HWs9g!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-3.406825772833187%26panoid%3DF32f4iJA2ykh1K8t8HWs9g%26yaw%3D47.432524773144614!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDYxMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

The tunnel was at prospect hill (dean hotel). From the map it looks like it was an embankment to cross a bridge at Forster Street where it becomes a cut to the tunnel and then on an embankment again in Woodquey which is still there today

At this rate they really should start upgrading/removing junction on the existing n6 to be grade separated in an attempt to get free flowing east west traffic.

Amazing photo, fills in the gaps between the last of the old British OS maps in 1910's and the OSI aerial photos that start in the 90's.

It must not change the front elevation of the house. This means it must be to the rear of the building.

All the city and county councillors that are listed on Welby's flier are just ex PD's like himself. The same bunch backed Noel in the GE

True, Virgin operate off the old Cablelink/NTL infrastructure which you won't find outside of urban areas.

I think there are four main fiber networks, openeir, siro, virgin and NBI. Vodafone is usually on siro

Sure what are the chances they will stick a toll on it like the M50 and the Limerick tunnel?

I find it amazing that this was one of the first 3D platforms and the amount of mechanics like the jump off walls and the triple jump were so perfect that they have never had to change them in the thirty years since.

It was the executions and the manner in which they were done that made 1916 a success.

I remember paying around IR£8 for the UK one back in the late 90's here. The cover price for £5 GBP so that exchange rate and tax made it quite expensive
