This is Mrs Lawlor, pictured at borris train station in Co. Carlow. She has a friendly, but compelling gaze.
This photo was taken just days before this train station closed forever on 1 April 1963.
Thanks to Flying Snail for the information that "This photo was featured on a BBC railway walk series about 15 years ago in which Mrs Lawlor was interviewed" and apparently Mrs Lawlor was described as being the last "halt keeper."

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/flyingsnail] That’s lovely to know. I’ve added your info in the description above. Who was Mrs Lawlor? Was she Station "Master"? Was such a thing possible back in the day, or was she Mrs Station Master?
Nice shot love the old station and lady.
Beaten to the Streetview, I will play my OS 25" link.
Lovely portrait of the station, fortunately it still survives. This photo was featured on a BBC railway walk series about 15 years ago in which Mrs Lawlor was interviewed (not sure if she is still around today), I tried to recreate the image myself when I visited Borris.
A lot of old train stations in Argentina look like this nowadays!
