Continuing the series in the same format as Lost Railways of Northern Ireland, this book represents a balanced photographic overview of the railways of County Cork. As with the books covering Northern Ireland, the author has done well in his sourcing of material in that very few if any of the 'classics' appear. Brief historical details are given for each line with the date of closure for any stations no longer open.
The quality of reproduction is on a par with those on Northern Ireland. As noted above, most of these photos have not been widely published and therefore, I would be willing to give the author/publisher the benefit of the doubt in suggesting that by avoiding the "classics", it was necessary to use images that were not of as high a standard (those that have become classics may have done so primarily because of their image quality).
