National Library of Ireland on The Commons posted a photo:

Fred McDonagh in his Signal Cabin, Enfield, Co. Meath at 1.55 p.m.

We got some lovely information on Fred from his grandson Traingraham:
"A wonderfull photo of my Grandad, he was just after moving from Moyvalley station some 3 miles down the track which was just after closing down. " A true Gentleman" Lived in Moyvalley station till he died in Naas hospital on the 7 July 1977, Retired in November 71 or 72, had a daughter and two sons. His wife died on 2 Jan 1983."

And we have another lovely O'Dea Collection photo featuring Fred (and James O'Dea himself) at Furey's pub in Moyvalley...
