Leddin in the video said: "So this place is a crossroads in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in Tipperary. They arrive, they get off the train, they go to a different platform and get on another train and then they disappear again. I think that is quite fascinating. Every time I come here it is always a magical experience. God I love trains. Isn't it fantastic when you come all the way from Dublin or Cork or wherever you get to change trains at Limerick Junction and experience this wonderful masterpeice. If only we could stay here a bit longer."
Many users have reacted to the video, one user said: "My God."

Another user said: "Also only place in Ireland where two rail tracks cross at almost right angles."
Another user said: "What a cracking spot."
