125 was very badly damaged,and I have seen a photo of her
in Inchicore just in the corner of the photo and all of the cab
was gone,however she was rebuilt and did work till 1986 when
she was withdrawn due to fire.She was the first GM to be
withdrawn and a good few of her 121 sisters seemed to
suffer the same fate.There was a time in the early 90s
that IE thought about rebuilding these locos such as 125
126,132,121,174,191 and a few other 141s that had bad
corrosion,However this was not done I persume due to
the arrival of railcars and the downturn in freight.
When fire damaged the traction motor cables and
the end to end control cables not to mention the body
damage,IE seemed to condem them very quickly.
Strangely I saw a pristine 130 at Inchicore one year
and the next year she was in a mess having been
Works pilot and withdrawn.
