    in fact, all systems work for the edenderry power station now and still continue to extract from the bogs for transfer to the power station
  2. Lev Pavliuk
    this explains everything, on Sunday there are no trains, on Saturday there are several, but on weekdays there are more
  3. Lev Pavliuk
    these power stations have been out of operation for a few years now but right now you can see a lot of trains on the Mountdillon system, that's where most of the photos are from, you can even see the Lanesborough power station in one of the photos, all the trains come from the bogs in the northwest from the bridge and to the tipper at Mountdillon works, the first trains leave at 7-8, there are 2 trains one after another, there can be quite a lot of round trips per day. I’ll go to the bogs tomorrow to film the loading process, if you want, then I’ll give you the exact geolocation, because to be honest, I myself don’t yet know in which swamp the loading takes place, everything is by trial and error

    a few more photos. I’ll publish the next from the edenderry system and coolnagun (small isolated system in Westmeath) probably in mid-November, since next week I’m leaving on a big trip. I also heard that all systems except edenderry will be closed at the end of October - beginning of November, so hurry up to visit!

    thank you very much for your support guys! this is good motivation, I'll try to post some photos on Saturday
  6. Lev Pavliuk
    By the way, if anyone needs detailed photographs of certain rolling stock or BnM infrastructure, then I can do it on one of the trips

    Well, it's been a while since I've posted pictures of Irish railways here and it's time to fix that. if you are interested in Bord na Mona, then I will regularly post them in the next topic, you can also find more there https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/8838-bord-na-móna-rolling-stock/page/2 /#comment-215744

    thanks for the nice review! a photograph of the night sky is 6 stitched frames taken at a shutter speed of 25 seconds, 18 mm, f3.5 and ISO 6500, the main goal of this trip was to photograph the Milky Way and locomotives and this was more than successful, I will definitely post photos here later, also the next morning I was able to photograph few trains on the Boora system, which may have already become a thing of history. in general, every trip is an adventure and exploration for me, I leave on my bike at 3 in the morning and when I arrive somewhere I start exploring the system, you never know what you will find and this spirit of exploration is simply amazing, as is the atmosphere of sitting near the tent and a fire looking into the starry sky and falling stars, you need to feel it, for me such trips have become a real outlet from everyday work, photographs are just like a small pleasant bonus
  9. Lev Pavliuk
    Thank you! I will periodically upload fresh and not-so-recent photographs to this topic, there is very active traffic now, on both there are 10+ train day
  10. Lev Pavliuk
    I have some photos, but unfortunately the most interesting ones have not yet been processed, but I still continue and will continue regular cycling trips to different systems. so perhaps I can also help with information
  11. Lev Pavliuk
    looks like Galway, it closed in 2017 but the locos still haven't been scrapped, saw lm41 and lm34 a few days ago
  12. Lev Pavliuk
    Probably once in 50 years
  13. Lev Pavliuk
    Tara mines already closed before, maybe 10-15 years ago, i don't sure
  14. Lev Pavliuk
    do you mean zinc reserves in storage? It is also worth remembering that the cessation of production in the mines will be carried out within 4 weeks, so if we talk in the context of the railway, then the trains will most likely run for quite a long time, it is worth remembering BnM
