230 passing through Balbriggan this morning with the RPSI's 'North Atlantic' tour:

186 in a very wet Balbriggan this afternoon.

Hi all, I have now uploaded some pictures from last week. On Friday I spent the morning in Killester on Dublin's northside and saw the usual mix of DART units, 29000 DMUs and 081 on the Tara. Then on Saturday morning I popped along to the Curragh, just before Kildare, to see the usual fare of...

Hi all, Today the weedsprayer operated from Portlaoise to Dundalk, via North Wall in Dublin. I managed to get a shot of 073 and the set passing through Balbriggan this lunchtime: http://smu.gs/JOQJlm Enjoy! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 073 and weedsprayer returned through...

Hi all, The weedsprayer campaign for 2012 commenced this week, which when completed should have covered most of the Irish Rail network. Today it was down in Cork, covering the east Cork lines and I popped down to see some of the action. Due to the lack of run-round facilities at both Cobh and...

Hi all, I managed to get two shots of the tour crossing the Curragh on Saturday morning: http://smu.gs/IzaDjE http://smu.gs/IljFBO Enjoy!

The other good thing about the 22000 is that most seats are arranged in groups of four around tables and all seats line up with the windows. They are the complete opposite of the Pendolino!

10 and 11 did make it off the ship as noted on another forum. They were unloaded in Waterford on 13 July 2007 and returned to Korea in May 2008. The toxic gas destroyed the wiring. Here they are in Limerick Jucntion on 12 December 2007:

I suppose Freightliner's 70012 would be the closest comparison though at least 10 and 11 made it onto Irish Rail metals. They were in Limerick Jct for a while as I managed to get a shot of them there.

Hi all, I have uploaded some pictures taken yesterday and today. From yesterday there is a shot of a 22000 in Balbriggan and a 29000 in Skerries. Today has some more interesting shots. I started the day in Drumcondra to see 221 on the IWT liner. I then moved to North Wall which had three 071s...

Some nice shots there.

Hi all, Have uploaded some shots from the last week but the most interesting probably come from today. This morning I went to Fairview Park to photograph the Alstom 82/8400-class DART sets which have been out of service for over three years and could be gone this year. Those shots start here...

New Intercity Class 22000s have arrived which are going to make all Sligo and Rosslare services 22 operated, and some Longford services will go over to 22s. This will free up 29000s to put onto services to Drogheda and Maynooth and the 2800s are transferring to Limerick to replace the 2700s...

Hi all, Have uploaded some pictures from today and yesterday. They show 073 and 081 on the Taras, 220 on the IWT liner, 8208 on the Enterprise, and the eight-piece 2800 set in Donabate, Portmarnock and Howth Junction. Pictures start at the link below: http://smu.gs/FO5ncD Enjoy! --- old post...

Hi all, My shots from the weekend now online. Locations include Connolly, M3 Parkway, Dunboyne, Hansfield, Killiney, Kilcoole, Howth, and Clontarf Road. Pictures here: http://smu.gs/GUGSuy Enjoy!

The general consensus is that was the first visit of a 201 to Howth. I thought one may have gone down when the signals were upgraded but I seem to be alone in that belief.

Hi all, As part of the preparations for the RPSI 'Spare Link' tour down the electrified Howth branch on 25 March, diesel locomotive 228 undertook a driver's route-refresher trip down the branch today. This is believed to be the first visit of a GM 201 down the line, though I am open to...
