Garfield Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Ah, so that's where it's ended up! It was used during the construction of the Luas, then spent some time stored at Red Cow, and was most recently spotted in an industrial estate in Portlaoise, not far from the ICR depot.

DJ Dangerous Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Looks great in the red! Is the LUAS 1435mm gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Was wondering where it was myself..... 18 minutes ago, DJ Dangerous said: Is the LUAS 1435mm gauge?

Branchline121 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Would I be correct thinking that this is one of the few stretches of standard gauge rail in Ireland? (excluding the Luas) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
