But, that can be a dodgy spot to stand... Nice to see somebody use the loop after the new wooden sleepers went in a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewanderer Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 That is Metrovicks Video. The inside 071 had failed between Portlaosie and Ballybrophy (I heard it pass the building where I work that day). It failed mid section and a 2nd 071 was sent from Portlaoise to push the failure to Ballybrophy loop. The assisting loco then ran around to the front of the train and once the backlog of delayed passenger trains was clear it hauled the autoballasters, plus failed loco to Lisduff which was the trains intended destination. The Wanderer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
