| On film...
|
|
The videos are copies of cine film. Making these films was, in many ways, more of an art than using a camcorder and allowances should be made for this.

| From Baltimore to Belfast. Midland Publishing.
| Filmed by R. Kehm. July 1952.
| | The Tralee & Dingle footage lasts about nine minutes. Quality is mostly good or very good. Filmed in monochrome. Shots include preparing the cattle train at Tralee, loco’s 1T & 8T at Castlegregory Junction and climbing to Glenagalt; loco 2T on the relief at Annascaul and loco’s shunting at Dingle. The return journey to Tralee is also filmed with loco 2T with the relief working at Annascaul, Castlegregory Junction and unloading at Tralee (with cattle disembarking onto the old passenger platform).

| The Irish Narrow Gauge in Colour. Midland Publishing.
| The T & D footage was filmed by J.H. Roberts.
| | The Tralee & Dingle footage lasts for about two minutes. The footage is a series of moving ‘snap shots’ taken in 1953 of the last passenger special. Unfortunately the quality of the T & D footage is poor due to film deterioration – most of the other footage of other lines is good.
