    It was a derailment after a 2900 hit debris from a landslide near Wicklow Station on 16th of November 2009. The full report and larger pictures are available here http://www.raiu.ie/download/pdf/accident_wicklow.pdf

    Most of the older ones around the country are water only and have no means of removing waste water or sewage. These are left over from the days when there were no retention tanks and you only needed to top up the water. Off the top of my head the only places I can think of that have full waste water / sewage removal would be Limerick shed, Cork Shed, Portlaoise depot, Heuston, Connolly platform 1 and Drogheda depot. Am I missing any?

    Those look like water / waste water only. The hoses for fuelling tend to be a red hose that is about 3 inches wide. You can see the red fuelling hose in this video of Connolly platform 1. There are also 2 fuelling points on Connolly platform 2 which are of a slightly different design but I can’t seem to find any better pictures online without an engine in the way.

    The north wall to Ballina liner failed on the down line between Kildare and Cherryville junction. They established single line working around the failed train on the up line while a spare engine was sent from Inchicore. The failed train was then hauled to Portarlington where the failed engine was removed.

    Freight trains generally comprise of wagons that add up to 36 TEU (Twenty foot equivalent units). Pocket wagons and 62.9 foot bogies are considered 3 TEU, all other bogie freight liners are 2 TEU and 4 wheelers are considered 1 TEU. You could have any combination of the above. My understanding of the pocket wagon brakes is that they are air braked and vacuum piped meaning only the air acts on the brakes and the vacuum is just piped straight through so vacuum stock would always be at the rear of the train.

    I believe they were trialling a new type or source of brake blocks.

    There are two with reddish brown. The Bar 2421 has a reddish brown which is actually a primer and is only on one side. The coach was required for service before full repainting to green could be completed. The second is 1949, (GNRI K31) which is painted in a dark maroon.

    Here is the full e-mail for those who are interested. If they are going alphabetically by name then they should be about half way through but it they are going by email then they have only just started.

    I got an e-mail this morning from Fotopic saying that even though they are gone bust I can now get access to my old photos for a limited time to download them. I have done this and stuck them all in a new gallery on my smugmug. I am sure there is some duplication with the pictures I already have up but there are many that I didn’t have on smugmug. So for now I have put 436 photos in this gallery and I will remove the duplicates when I get a chance. http://snail.smugmug.com/Trains/Old-Fotopic-2/26143649_dz9tgm#!i=2173277355&k=MHzkSMN Enjoy snapper.
