<b>Accident at Connolly – 1971 – (1)</b><br>On the morning of Monday 17 May 1971, the 08.11 train from Howth to Dalkey was running between Killester and the city when a train-lighting dynamo became detached from under one of the coaches. This caused considerable damage to the track and eventually the train derailed at Connolly signal cabin (a former GNR(I) cabin which can be seen on the left). Fortunately, injuries were minor and most of the damage was repaired by the following day, allowing a resumption of normal services.
