RPSI steam loco No.4 pulling a Santa Special from Dublin Pearse to Maynooth rounds the corner at Louisa Bridge in Leixlip, Ireland on a fine December afternoon.
The water in the foreground is the Royal Canal, which is crossed by Louisa Bridge which is visible in the left background. The railway station Leixlip-Louisa-Bridge is located directly behind the bridge as seen from here. The special did not stop there.
