At approximately 3pm on Wednesday, 19 Dec 2013 a freak storm hit Cork City and the surrounds with extremely strong winds and rain. A few seconds after the 3pm Cork - Cobh departed platform 2 at Cork Kent, the winds ripped the platform canopy off, with debris landing in the car park and out on the main road. Debris also hit a 2600 class DMU in platform 3, and another unit in the old carriage siding. A loco in one of the engine roads also got it. From other reports, the signal cabin got damaged as well. Thankfully no one was killed.
Here are a few pictures:

Why was the Glensk Viaduct abandoned? Is it a walking path now or just a relic? I really like the pic of the 3 guys in front of the 073, it gives you a sense of anticipation Thanks for sharing. Tom Z
Hi Tom,
The Farranfore to Valentia railway line was "dismantled" and abandoned in 1960. There are still a lot of engineering works evident on the line to this day. There are plans to turn some sections into walkways/cycleways.
