Charles Clifford was locomotive superintendent of the Great Northern Railway of Ireland (GNRI) from 1895 to 1912.[1] Clifford is attributed with increasing the size and power of the GNRI locomotive stock to match the increasing length and weight of train loads in this period; producing locomotives of that stood comparison with those of the Great Southern and Western Railway.[1]
