Irish rail tour questions

[Krokodil]

Are there any equivalents to Real Time Trains and similar resources for Ireland? Couldn't get tickets for the RPSI trip to Dundalk on Easter Monday so plan to chase and photograph it. It would be helpful to work out where it gets overtaken. If anyone's got a schedule for the special it would be handy too, the only information I've got is the arrival and departure times for Dublin, Drogheda, Dundalk and Skerries Loop.

Are there any facilties for turning the loco and if not which way would it face?

See the entry for Ireland in this thread:

Foreign Train Trackers / Schedules

Just wondered if there were any (Preferably free) foreign equivalents to websites such as RealTime Trains or Traksy, particularly looking at Japan in particular. Thanks for any help I can get!

There is no way of tracking special trains publicly in Ireland.
The only way of knowing is from the timetable in the staff weekly circular.
