The train mural on Baby Hannah's bar was painted by Russell Barrett of Skibbereen who passed away about 2003. His studio was on North Street and known as "Grin N Barrett". Baby Hannahs is a traditional Irish pub at 42 Bridge Street, Skibbereen, West Cork.
The mural probably depicts the old steam trains that used to run to Skibbereen. The main line to Cork was removed in the 1960s. The narrow gauge line to Schull was closed down before that.
