Inchicore railway works, also known locally as 'Inchicore' or 'The Works',[2] was founded by the Great Southern and Western Railway in 1846 and emerged to become the major engineering centre for railways in Ireland.[3] Located c. 3 km west of Dublin city centre, the works cover an area of approximately 73 acres (300,000 m2).[1]
The works are responsible for the overhaul, repair, servicing, spraying and washing of locomotives and rolling stock. In the past, the manufacture, assembly and rebuild of locomotives and rolling stock have been performed at Inchicore.[4]
