Last Industrial Steam Locos in Service

[GSWR 90]

Does anyone know when steam locos were last in industrial use in Ireland (apart from Harvey, of course)? I'd be interested in hearing about the ones that were the almost-last as well, not just the last one

Courtaulds Pecketts? 
 

There can’t have been many into the 1960s.

Last main ones probably Courtaulds in Carrick up till about 1964. Larne aluminium NG lasted till 1960-ish.

Great pic, those engines would have been great at Downpatrick. I would be very interested to get a solid date as to when they last operated, I think Mallow No. 3 last ran in 1963.

Harvey on LPHC last used about 1959

 Courtalds engines at Carrick in use till about 1968

 Have done an article on the Courtaulds line as well. Plus I see them in use as a young child 2!
