Downey's hand-drawn map of Waterford City, which is undated but would appear to be in Great Southern Railway times before the 1939-45 Emergency. This part shows the railway station on the north bank, along with the port installations on both sides of the Suir estuary. Courtesy of Waterford City Library 2005.

The much-changed Waterford Station, renamed Plunkett in 1966, with a view of the suspended signal box on the left in the top image and an Inter-City destined for Dublin Heuston station on platform 4 and a local commuter train on 5.

In the lower picture, the quarried face of Mount Misery is readily apparent on the right hand side in this view of the eastern end of the station. The tracks used to lead to New Ross (closed to passengers in 1963) and Rosslare (closed in 2011). Both pictures were taken by the contributor in September 2005.
