dave182 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 A side question, is there a run around loop at Wexford station again? Am I right in thinking this wasn't the case through the 90's and 2000's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I had been asking a few questions about the new numbering on 085 as I had not seen it on any previous 071 I think its a great idea, makes for much easier loco recognition https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=672760819422118&set=gm.279364392216926&type=1&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave182 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi David (Wexfordloco10) super shots as always! Again, and after looking at the images above, I'm not understanding the track layout at the station. If you have the time, or if anyone else is familiar with it, can you explain the current track layout to me at Wexford station? Google earth and osi.ie don't give a clear picture. Surely it would be logical to have a run-round loop here, but I'm 99% sure that this is not the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I thought there was a passing loop just south of the Station that had only recently been built-I am open to correction on that,but a passing loop I am nearly sure is there.

dave182 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Enniscorthyman, tend to agree with you. As per Davids picture on the previous page, I have highlighted what appears to be a run-round headshunt down the Wexford town end of the station. Looks like a recent installation alright. I know through the 90's there used to be some funny maneuvers here when the bagged cement called. Either a loco from a Dublin/Rosslare Train was sometimes used to 'free' the loco of the cement, or it would run on to Rosslare to run round. There would have to be a run round facility now for the ballasting to be stabled there, otherwise they would require 2 locos. One again, if anyone has photos or could scetch the current layout that would be most helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wexfordloco10 Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi All I must admit whilst I was taking the photos I had not concentrated on the track work a senior moment I will however go down again and try to get better pics assuming I can obtain permission Happy Xmas to all thanks for comments Roll on 2014 for more movements in the Wexford area David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Love these pictures of Wexford . Makes me miss home. There was a rake of the autoballster wagons at Ballinasloe yesterday (time ~1600), not sure if anything interesting is going to happen. Would love to get a picture of them with an 071 near Galway at some point. That would be a rare sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
