DSER Black XXVIa No.14

After the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway reached Waterford the name of the railway was changed to Dublin and South Eastern Railway in 1907. They also thought it was best to repaint their engines in a new black livery and later remove their names. No. 14, Formely named Limerick was built by the DSER at the Grand Canal Street Works, Dublin in 1905 as a Goods Train. But during the Irish Civil War(1922-1923), when the Anti-Treaty side(Those who thought the Treaty offered by the Prime Minister of Britain David Lloyd George wasn't good enough as six counties and three ports remained under British Rule and Ireland would remain part of the British Commonwealth) would sabatage trains and stations to disrupt goods services and the transportation of Pro-Treaty Troops. On the DSER this was common in the South East, On August 1922, No.14 was pulling a Dublin-Wexford night mail goods train through Killurin Tunnel but they didnt know that the Anti-Treaty had cut away the track at the south end of the tunnel where the train derailed and traveled a further 30m before tipping on its side. Michael Forde was telephoned and immediatly had a military ambulance with his escort to the site as the Driver was badly scalded in the wreakage. The Driver was taken to Wexford Hospital and got a year off work but returned as a driver and continued till his retirement. Michael Forde got the wagons back on track within the day but unable to stop locals from pinching coal from the broken coal wagons. No.14 was difficult to lift due the soft ground but was eventually lifted.
