Until the other day I thought Tralee's only claim to fame was the rose whose beauty was so fervently extolled by the late John McCormack. I now learn that the old girl is having a i'-....'500,000 face-lift.
Tralee is apparently the centre of a passenger and freight traffic boom and CIE, the Irish state transport undertaking, is completing big railway works to deal with it. Fork trucks of up to 25-ton capacity will handle ISO containers and other freight.
"Extension of palletised cement trains to Tralee will also bring extra business," I read. The carriage of trains on pallets is a revolutionary Irish development to avoid wearing out the wheels.
