Chasing The Flying Snail is a personal photographic record of the railways of CIE in the 1950s. Whilst, as ever, the primary focus is on trains/rolling stock, built heritage features included are:

The only omission I could notice was that the Foynes line was missing from the map of railways in 2005 as is the Youghal branch, despite the latter being closer to reopening than the WRC. This, however, is a minor point and overall, Colourpoint have delivered another quality publication on the railways of Ireland.
