Csalem Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi all, The weedsprayer campaign for 2012 commenced this week, which when completed should have covered most of the Irish Rail network. Today it was down in Cork, covering the east Cork lines and I popped down to see some of the action. Due to the lack of run-round facilities at both Cobh and Midleton, two 071s were required to haul the set. I managed to get shots of it at Glounthaune and Midleton, with 073 and 080 the locomotives in use. Also included in the shots are some 2600s, the hybrid 26/27 set and a four piece 2800 visiting Cork.

Csalem Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 For at least the third year in a row, 071 has put in an appearance on the weed. Here it is yesterday about to go to Longford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
