enniscorthyman Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I hear on Facebook that it is due to traverse the Rosslare-Waterford Line this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Keep in mind that it wont always run 'as advertised'. Hours or even days early or late running can be expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hours or even days early or late running can be expected That's true enough,and with the poor growth and more cold weather this-God knows.

Southern Yard Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I hear on Facebook that it is due to traverse the Rosslare-Waterford Line this week. Hopefully it is our else the line will end up like this scene......just a memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hopefully it is our else the line will end up like this scene......just a memory.[ATTACH=CONFIG]7011[/ATTACH] Yes it's important the line is maintained as nature does reclaim very quickly.I love that photo of 209 at Abbeydorney taken in 1983 I think?.There is a nice photo of 172 at the crossing gates in Lixnaw Co Kerry on the weed sprayer in May 1984 in IRRS journal.It was the last movement over the line and the train stabled there at the gates while the crew went to the Nearby railway bar for Refreshment!.

Southern Yard Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think it's 1983 not 100% though. The sprayer was probably the most interesting train in Ireland by the late 70s early 80s as it travelled lines with no traffic at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm171 kk Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) It was said on boards.ie a few minutes ago that 084 is working the weedsprayer Dublin-Waterford-Rosslare-Gorey on Wednesday and onto Dublin on Thursday. And I'm going to miss it! Edited May 7, 2013 by gm171 kk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm171 kk Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 My mistake, 084 is on weedsprayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm going to miss it! That was me, another poster said it was a black and tan 071 number unknown. It could only be 084. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm171 kk Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That was me, another poster said it was a black and tan 071 number unknown. It could only be 084. I didn't even think of 084, I assumed he was trying to describe new livery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 That was 084's last job for the time being. It is now in Inchicore for it's big overhaul. The days of the last loco in IE orange in service is over. I got some photos of it last summer when it spent a while on the taras thinking that it's days were numbered. Little did I know there was another year left in her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Heard a rumour weed sprayer is working Waterford to Rosslare and back tomorrow first thing in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riversuir226 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Heard a rumour weed sprayer is working Waterford to Rosslare and back tomorrow first thing in the morning. i did hear the same rumour about the weedsprayer on the Rosslare line later today. I think its 077 definetly a grey one though. Looks like its 071:doh:, think i should have looked at wanderers page before commenting. She sounded sweet while i was stopped at a checkpoint across the river from her. Any idea on times?
