A promo vid for Port of Waterford and the XPO Logistics freight rail service, but good shots of the train being loaded at the port.

I remember the original BELL container port up stream in the city in the 1960s and 1970s.

We've sailed past that container port a few times, last time this guy was coming off his moorings getting underway as we sailed past. COLREGs apply so we kept out of her way.  Waterford was a railway metropolis when I was a youngster, sad to see the once busy station relegated to the single bay platform for DMUs. Glad to see its getting freight traffic. Would be great to see Rosslare container traffic route through Waterford to Dublin over a reopened barrow bridge line (ie containers avoiding brexit land bridge).

How old are the reach stackers used in this video? have been hesitant to buy some lately as they seem a bit too modern for my era.
