EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the Lartigue Train, an experimental railway that was installed in Ireland between the towns of Listowel and Ballybunion. The image, part of a private collection and credited to Santiago Ortega, transports us back in time to witness this unique piece of transportation history. The engraving depicts a horizontal view of the Lartigue Train, with its distinctive design and innovative track system clearly visible. This experimental railway was unlike any other at the time, utilizing a single central rail instead of traditional two-rail tracks. Its purpose was to provide efficient transport between Listowel and Ballybunion for both passengers and goods. As we delve into this historical gem, it is fascinating to imagine how this unconventional mode of transport must have captured people's attention during its operation. The Lartigue Train served as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in finding new ways to connect communities. Although little-known today, this engraving serves as a reminder of Ireland's rich railway heritage. It offers us glimpses into an era when experimentation flourished in pursuit of progress. With its intricate details preserved through time, this print invites us on a journey through history – one that celebrates innovation while honoring forgotten chapters in our collective past.
