Dawn Train

Eleven issues of ‘Dawn Train’ appeared in the period 1982 – 1992, initially as part of Dawn (which ceased monthly publication in 1984-5) and later as part of INNATE (which was formed in 1987). Three of the issues were ‘single topic’ issues – on the Irish anti-nuclear power movement, education, and the Peace People – while the rest had a variety of different features. The contents of each are listed below.

Contents

Erratum: An erratum slip was included with Dawn Train 2 concerning the order of the text in the article on Martin Luther King. This is included in the PDF. Please note this was the era of printing being typed up, cut out in columns and then pasted down, and such confusion was easier to happen than now…
