Great to see the work unfolding before our very eyes. Some very shiny looking orange and black coaches nestled away on Platform 3.

Are the track panels held together using those bits of metal while in storage, as wood would rot?

also used alot in bog land where wood would rot fast

nothing left of it now

looks like they already have a 201 modifyed

I never realised just how active you where on the form until you changed your profile picture

fantastic work

it seems that only edenderry is operational now.

Goodbye to the “hellfire” and “thrash”!

Wonder how the preserved ones will fare…..!

hopefully they will preserve an original 071 and 201 engine.

if they do steam it will be interesting to see if they do some sort of steem genorator

Sadly it too disappeared sometime over the last year!

im nearly too afraid to mention eny other remainder of cement railway history in case i give it bad luck

hopefuly they will keep the one in waterford

indeed the darts could do with toilets. i just hope that ryanairs idea is implemented on our railway system 

thanks for the verification. I just realised that my mistake could have been that I was there on a Sunday 

very interesting stuff. in one way i do wonder how they will create something as good as the current service with railcars. a lot of the enterprises attractiveness comes from the great smooth ride. of cores with something electric you wont have to worry about the vibrations that you get on an ICR

thanks very much. just checking is the bridge in Landsborough over the Shannon still operational. I visited there a few weeks ago and nothing came by.

great photographs. thanks for the imformation.

This popped up today and might be of interest to those who might not have already seen it.

 

just wondering where this is and if its still opperating

the Michael Portillo one showed part of the shunt

back a few years ago i filmed some of the shunting form the motorway bridge

co ordinates: 53.651016, -6.704064

just wondering if you have anymore detail on the potential return of the flow.

I have not seen that one in a long time

sure its only a bit of mud anyway. ok maby "a bit" is inaccurate

cant wait

whilst electrification definitely is the long term answer it will take years to electrify the railways. just look at the replacement of semaphores. light signals where a thing in Ireland long before diesel and we still have some semaphores in operation.

cant wait to see how it turns out
