I am always quite tickled when I see a photo/video of a preserved loco/railcar/carriage/etc. when it was in service. Please feel free to post any photos like this below. 

To get the ball rolling, here are some DCDR locos before preservation

Not really on topic, as it isn't a loco:

I'm sure I can find some more.

Cork Glanmire Rd shed 90, 1963 img996

These 2 locos are currently about the same distance away now as they were in this photo. 1875 built 90 with future roommate 1958 built C231.

 

i have a picture of 2624 working in west cork, which became 6111 also preserved in Downpatrick. Can’t find it though!
