Grand Canal Street railway works, also known as The Factory, served the Dublin and Kingstown Railway (D&KR), its successors the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DW&WR) and the Dublin and South Eastern Railway (DSER). It was closed in 1925 following the merger of the railways of Ireland to form the Great Southern Railways (GSR). The workshop was the former two-storey Dock Distillery, at Grand Canal Street, Dublin. With no lifting crane and poor workshop layout the works was increasingly stretched by larger locomotives, shortages from the First World War and damages due to the Irish Civil War.{{rp|129—132}} In 4 April 1841 it achieved a world first by being the first railway company owned workshop to build a locomotive, this being a 2-2-2T locomotive named Princess.[3] It produced its last locomotive in 1911.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book|title=Irish Railways since 1916|last=Baker|first=Michael H.
