Newtoncork Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 End of an era. I know it was just a matter of time, but there's no mention of how many trucks were required to replace the cement trains. I remember seeing 171 and 177 idling in Mallow with the bubbles. Must have been about 2003. I wonder what are the realistic chances of freight ever returning to Cork? https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/long-standing-cork-train-station-27867105 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the form of cement? It’s over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
