Harcourt Street railway line

The Harcourt Street railway line ((アイルランド語:Seanlíne Iarnróid Shráid Fhearchair)) ran from ''Harcourt Street'' in Dublin through the southern suburbs to Bray.
==History==
Following the success of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway (D&KR), which opened on 17 December 1834, proposals for a second commuter railway were put forward. These plans proposed the building of a railway from Bray Daly, which opened on 10 July 1854 to initially terminate at Harcourt Road. (Harcourt Street Station was not built until 1859). The building of the line was done by two railway companies: The ''Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway'' (DW&WR), who built the line from Dundrum to Bray and the ''Dublin, Dundrum and Rathfarnham Railway'' (DD&RR), who were to build the line from Harcourt Street to Dundrum. The latter failed to do so, and the 'Dublin & Wicklow Railway' took over the line works.
On 14 February 1900, a train from Enniscorthy failed to stop and went through the buffers and the wall of the station,〔http://www.harcourtstreettraincrash.com/〕 sending debris over Hatch Street. Nobody was killed, though the driver, William Hyland, had his right arm amputated at the scene. Another serious accident occurred on 23 December 1957 when two trains collided in thick fog just south of Dundrum station. The first train had slowed to a walking pace because of a cow on the line. The second train was allowed into the same section of a track due to an error by a signalman. Its driving cab was completely destroyed in the collision and the driver, Andrew Larkin, was killed instantly.〔http://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/documents/Unk_Dundrum1957.pdf〕
In the 1950s, diesel gradually replaced steam in an effort to improve journey times as many passengers had by then forsaken the line due to a rapid and significant increase in private car ownership. CIE were also rapidly expanding their then new bus services in and around the railway.
